Sus domesticus

This is the scientific name for the domesticated pig. For media references to Sus domesticus, please see Pigs.
Pigs have been domesticated from Sus scrofa several times over. The lineages converged together through breeding over the thousands of years. Today there are many different breeds of domesticated pigs. They are now considered to be a different species from their ancestors.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pig&oldid=1149505031 The oldest remains have been found in Turkey. But later on humans in Western Turkey, Europe, and China made their own domesticated variants from wild morphs of Sus scrofa.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3603306/
For the United States, domesticated swine was first introduced by Hernando de Soto from Spain. When he first explored Florida, he brought with him 13 pigs. They bred and inbred until they had a population of 700 in 3 years.https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/2019/10/a-brief-history-of-the-pig-in-the-united-states/
