Pigs naturally like to live in forests, especially where
there are oak trees that make acorns, because pigs like to eat acorns. At
first people hunted wild pigs in the forest. The male wild pigs are called
boars. But wild boars are very dangerous to hunt. They are smart and they
have long sharp tusks and teeth. It is much safer to domesticate pigs and have them tame, although even tame
pigs can still be very dangerous (still, people are more dangerous to pigs than pigs are to people!).
People first began to keep tame pigs about 10000 BC,
in Central Asia. From Central Asia, tame pigs spread slowly east to China, and south-west to West Asia and North Africa. It is much safer to domesticate pigs and have them tame, although even tame

from West Asia all the way
to England, from Scandinavia to North
Africa. Pigs care for themselves pretty independently, and they will
eat apple cores and rotten meat and peapods, so you can feed them on garbage. Pig meat is also relatively easy to preserve by smoking it or salting it, to make bacon and salami. Germanic people in Eastern Europe, and the Romans, were especially known for their hams and salamis. The earliest Christians, who lived in Israel, also did not eat pork, but by about 50 AD many Christians came from places where people did eat pork, like Greece, and the Christians decided that
this rule did not apply to them.When Mohammed
told the Arabs about the new religion of Islam, he also said that Muslims (people who followed Islam) should not eat pork.
So pigs became much less common around the Mediterranean and in West Asia
after about 700 AD, and they are still very uncommon
today. But in Europe and in China, where people were Christian or Buddhist or Taoist and not Muslim, pigs remained very common.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThe one huge thing that I noticed is that when you copy something and it is not in your own words, then you have the chance to copy the same thing more than once. This happened in this post.
Because of that , your word count was actually 365
