Our ancient ancestors were the first people to hunt wild pigs. The male wild pigs are called boars. But wild boars are very dangerous to hunt. They are smart, strong and they have long sharp tusks and teeth.
It is much safer to domesticate pigs and have them tame, although even tame pigs can still be a little dangerous. People first began to keep tame pigs about 6000 BC, in West Asia. Pigs were a very popular source of food all through antiquity, from West Asia all the way to England, from Scandinavia to North Africa. They care for themselves independently, and they will eat a variety of foods to include apple cores, meat or even peapods. Pig meat is also relatively easy to preserve by smoking it, like bacon, salami or pepperoni.
