• Early Neolithic pig domestication at Jiahu, Henan Province, China: clues from molar shape analyses using geometric morphometric approaches (2011, unknown): “Perhaps if we considered the wild boar as a culturally domesticated (tamed/captive) animal, used in ceremonial practices, rather than as fully domestic; it would explain why their phenotype displays little or no evidence of change as demonstrated by experiments on generations of zoo captivewild boar”
• The long and winding road: identifying pig domestication through molar size and shape (2013, background): “In mammals, themost significant physical changes to occur with domestication involve a decrease in brain and body size, changes in body proportions, and a modification of external morphological characters such as emergence of piebald coat colour, wavy or curly hair, rolled and shortened tails, or fl”
