The domestic pig is most often treated as a subspecies of its wild ancestor, the wild boar, which was given the name Sus scrofa by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, in which case its formal name is Sus scrofa domesticus.[5][6] In 1777, Johann Christian Polycarp Erxleben treated the domestic pig as a separate species from the wild boar. He gave it the name Sus domesticus, which is still used by some taxonomists to this day.[7][8] Wild boars were in human association as early as 13,000-12,700 BC.
