We can transplant the heart of a pig into a man, it's the same size and the body does not reject it. The pig's liver is also compatible for human surgery, the body does not reject it. Its veins, also used, are not rejected. The pig is closest to us in brain size, an adult pig weighs the same as an adult human, its skin is the same colour and is commonly use in replacement skin for serious burns victims. It will get sunburnt like us and pork cooking smells like burning human flesh (I read}.
NOW, what if out of the primordial soup a creature swam - a basic lifeform - that became mammal and started to evolve into all walks of life - apes, swine and lets say, human. The human evolutionary branch from this basic form possessed dexterity and a brain big enough to handle the skills of the hand, the best combination of all the evolutionary branches.This form, the human form, naturally dominated quickly. Isn't this feasible? that we are not descended from apes or pigs but alongside them?

No, evolved monkeys - envious, treacherous, suspicious, greedy.

Where did you get this false info from? Pig's organs will be rejected if transplanted into a human. Some research was done to have pigs with human DNA in them so that their organ would be seen by the human as being human, but we are far from achieving this (and I don't even know if some are still researching it, given that stem cells might eventually enable us to grow replacement human organs).
As for pigs being like humans, check your facts better.
A pig has 44 teeth (humans 32). A pig is sexually mature at 1 year old. Pigs do not have sweat glands. A pig's brain is much smaller than a human (8 times smaller) compare that with a chimp (about 1/3 to 1/4 of a human).
And so on.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I will go eat some bacon, and it will not be cannibalism. Pigs are as distant from humans as cows are.

Keep looking. The answers are out there. We did not evolve from pigs or chimps. We have common ancestors with chimps and, if you go farther, with pigs. If you go back far enough we have have a common ancestor with flies and ferns to. Despite the whole theory vs. law or fact thing, the evolutionary tree is pretty figured out.

If we are, then thousands of our little ancestors are butchered each year at the hands of biology students because the arrangement of their organs is similar to ours. This little piggy went to market...

Who said anything about evolved. Oink.

No - we evolved from Chimps.
