Evolution under intensive industrial breeding: skull size and shape comparison between historic and modern pig lineages by A. Haruda, A. Evin, F. Steinheimer, R. Schafberg

“…Our results suggest that cranial morphologies have rapidly responded to selection pressure that is independent of genetic isolation. This also suggests that pig morphotypes quickly reflect human agency and impact upon domestic animal phenotypes, revealing a pathway to investigate early human breeding activity in ancient and historical contexts.…”
