At any given time there are around one billion pigs in the world;
that's one for every seven of us. And where would we be without
them? Prolific, ubiquitous, smart, adaptable, able to turn garbage
into good-quality protein just by eating it, pigs have been our
companions since neolithic days when they obligingly domesticated
themselves, coming in out if the wild to truffle around our waste
pits. It's not all about the bacon: the resourceful pig, now
reformatted in micro packages, has developed a whole new career as
a portable pet. And thanks to the recent genome mapping we now know
that pig physiology is remarkably similar to our own. The Pig: A
Natural History covers evolution from prehistoric wild boar to
placid porker; anatomy, biology and behaviour; the pig's
contribution to our lives; and the high profile of this remarkable
beast in popular culture.
