what do pigs originate from?

Answer 1

From Wild Boar & hogs running free all over Britain & the Continent..
Domesticated over 3,000 years ago in Medieval times.

Answer 2

The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). Guinea Pigs originated from South America where they were used as food. Potbellied pigs originate from the Far East; records show them being kept as pets by a Chinese emperor as far back as 6000 BC.

The common guinea pig was first domesticated by the Inca of South America, in what is now Peru. They continue to be an important food source, subsisting off a family's vegetable scraps as a half pet/half future meal. Guinea pigs are the dish of honor at some Peruvian wedding feasts and play the role of evil-spirit collector in traditional healing rituals.

We have Sequenced mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia. The time since divergence of the ancestral forms was estimated at 500,000 years, well before domestication 9,000 years ago. Historical records indicate that Asian pigs were introduced into Europe during the 18th and early 19th centuries. We found molecular evidence for this introgression and the data indicated a hybrid origin of some major “European” pig breeds. The study is an advance in pig genetics and has important implications for the maintenance and utilization of genetic diversity in this livestock species.

Answer 3

I dont that, But I know stink originates from pigs

Answer 4

I assume you mean evolution wise.
Pigs are members of the family Artiodactyla, which are even toed mammals. Related animals are goats cattle sheep, and Camels.
