Breeds of Livestock - Swine Breeds It is believed that the majority of the breeds we now know are descended from the Eurasian Wild Boar ( ). Archaeological evidence from the Middle East indicates domestication of the pig occurs as early as 9,000 years ago, with some evidence for domestication even earlier in China. Figurines, as well as bones, dating to the sixth and seventh millennia BC have been found at sites in the Middle East. Pigs were also a popular subject for statuettes in ancient Persia.
