The first pigs evolved in Southeast Asia from earlier, smaller mammals, about two million years ago, and spread out from there all over Eurasia (Europe) and Africa. People first met pigs before they left Africa; they worked with dogs and used spears and nets to hunt wild pigs, or wild boars, in the forest. Wild boars are very dangerous to hunt. They are smart and they have long tusks and teeth. Men hunted them mainly to impress the ladies.

People first began to keep tame pigs about 10000 BC, in Central Asia. From Central Asia, tame pigs spread slowly east to China, and south-west to West Asia and North Africa. People also tamed pigs separately in Europe, maybe about the same time. Pigs were a very popular source of food all through antiquity, from West Asia all the way west to England and east to China, from Scandinavia to North Africa. Pigs care for themselves pretty independently, and they will eat apple cores, rotten meat, and peapods, so you can feed them on garbage. Their meat is easy to preserve with salt, and bacon and ham are delicious, fatty, salty foods.
