Pigs are one of the most iconic but also paradoxical animals ever
to have developed a relationship with humans. This relationship has
been a long and varied one: from noble wild beast of the forest to
mass produced farmyard animal; from a symbol of status and plenty
to a widespread religious food taboo; from revered religious totem
to a parodied symbol of filth and debauchery.
Pigs and Humans brings together some of the key scholars whose
research is highlighting the role wild and domestic pigs have
played in human societies around the world over the last 10,000
years. The 22 contributors cover a broad and diverse range of
temporal, geographical, and topical themes, grounded within the
disciplines of archaeology, zoology, anthropology, and biology, as
well as art history and history. They explore such areas as
evolution and taxonomy, domestication and husbandry, ethnography,
and ritual and art, and present some of the latest theories and
methodological techniques. The volume as a whole is generously
illustrated and will enhance our understanding of many of the
issues regarding our complex and ever changing relationship with
the pig.
