The initial emergence of wild pigs, followed by the genetic divergence between boars and pigs and the domestication of pigs [20] Archaeological evidence shows that pigs were domesticated from wild boar in the Near East in or around the Tigris Basin, [21] being managed in a semi-wild state much as they are managed by some modern New Guineans.

Suidae is a family of artiodactyl mammals which are commonly called pigs, hogs, or swine.In addition to numerous fossil species, 18 extant species are currently recognized (or 19 counting domestic pigs and wild boars separately), classified into between four and eight genera.
The study also found that despite back-crossing with wild pigs, the genomes of domestic pigs have strong signatures of selection at DNA loci that affect behavior and morphology. The study concluded that human selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of gene flow from wild boars and created domestication islands ...
The giant forest hog is, on average, the largest living species of suid. Adults can measure from 1.3 to 2.1 m (4 ft 3 in to 6 ft 11 in) in head-and-body length, with an additional tail length of 25 to 45 cm (9.8 to 17.7 in).
The Japanese boar (Sus scrofa leucomystax), also known as the white-moustached pig, [2] nihon-inoshishi (ニホンイノシシ), [3] or yama kujira (山鯨, lit. "mountain whale"), [3] is a subspecies of wild boar native to all of Japan, apart for Hokkaido and the Ryukyu Islands.
The etymology of the Old Norse name Sæhrímnir is problematic; in contradiction to the Gylfaginning (and, depending upon translator, Grímnismál) description of the animal as a boar, Sæhrímnir is, in modern scholarship, commonly proposed to mean "sooty sea-beast" or "sooty sea-animal" (which may be connected to Old Norse seyðir, meaning 'cooking ditch').

It is known as the wild boar in Singapore. It is the most basal subspecies, having the smallest relative brain size, more primitive dentition, and unspecialised cranial structure. [ 1 ] It is a short-faced subspecies with a white band on the muzzle, [ 2 ] as well as sparse body hair, no underwool, a fairly long mane, and a broad reddish band ...
