Aside from the general shape, the main difference between the skulls of humans and pigs is the presence of premaxilla in the pig skull. This structure is found at the tip of the upper jaw, and acts as a separate bone for the snout.

everything is the same the differences are

pigs they have the premaxilla which makes the snout and the caudal vertebrae which makes the tail

humans have the clavical which pushes the shoulders apart making it hard for us to walk on all fours and we have the coccyz which is the tail bone

the number of ribs and type of ribs may differ as well

Actually, the anatomy of a pig is very similar to that of a human. Pigs are often used as human analogs in tests and dissections. Although skeletal structure may differ because humans are bipedal and pigs walk on all fours, internal organs are relative in shape and size.

Like humans, pigs are mammals, and the females give birth to live young and can nurse them. Both humans and pigs have meat and similar skin. Crime labs often use pig carcases to help reconstruct crimes since their flesh is so similar to humans.

They are alike because rodents have some of the same bone of a human skeleton body.
