EurekAlert!Study provides evidence pigs were domesticated from wild boars in South ChinaA new Dartmouth-led study provides evidence that pigs were first domesticated from wild boars in South China approximately 8,000 years ago. China has long been considered one of the locations for original pig domestication but tracking the initial process has always been challenging. The study is the first to find that pigs were eating humans' cooked foods and waste. The results are reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
