However, the question of where pigs *originated* is different:
* Wild pigs (also called feral pigs) are believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and spread from there to other parts of the world.
* Domesticated pigs were likely domesticated from wild pigs in East Asia about 10,000 years ago.
So, while pigs can be found in almost every country today, their origins lie in the regions of Southeast Asia and East Asia.
