The Animal That Built Civilization
There's a creature that has walked beside humanity for 10,000 years, transforming garbage into sustenance, thriving in every climate from tropical islands to frozen forests, and shaping the course of empires. Yet this same animal has been alternately worshipped, despised, legally executed, and used as a weapon of conquest. The pig's story isn't just about agriculture-it's a mirror reflecting how we've organized societies, justified wars, and decided who belongs and who doesn't. From ancient temples to modern factory farms, the humble pig has been there, revealing uncomfortable truths about human nature itself.
