The Evolution of Animal Domestication (2014, background): “Once animals along the pathway become entrenched within human societies, the phenotypic differences between them and their wild ancestors became sufficiently marked to (at least occasionally) warrant separate taxonomic species names (Gentry et al. 2004).”
Diversidad y endemismo de los mamíferos del Perú (2011, background): “Finalmente, se presenta una lista de mamíferos introducidos y domésticos en base a la literatura (Cossíos 2004, Del Río et al. 2001, Escomel 1929, Lleellish et al. 2007), siguiendo la nomenclatura propuesta por Gentry et al. (2004).”
Distinguishing Wild Boar from Domestic Pigs in Prehistory: A Review of Approaches and Recent Results (2012, background): “applied to a species as versatile as the pig: can the full range of possible human–pig relationships be simply divided into ‘wild’ and ‘domestic’? Wild boar were named Sus scrofa by Linnaeus in 1758, while domestic pigs were initially placed in a different species, Sus domesticus, by Erxleben in 177”
Size and shape of the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa), with a view to the reconstruction of its Holocene history (2009, background): “Not only has the wild boar been hunted by people for millennia — therefore providing an important protein source to the human diet — but it has also given rise to the domestic pig (S. domesticus) (nomenclature follows Gentry et al. 2004), one of the most important farm animals.”
