Spaniards love their pork. I’ve always wanted to try “lardo”, a smoked bacon like delicacy that is supposed to be very delicious. I havent found anybody that imports it.

Seventy five generations of pigs and the genome sequence remains unchanged...???

Micro-evolution stopped moving the species forward...???

Gee, at least evolution could have made the bacon tastier...if that is possible...

the first partial genome sequence of an ancient pig. Extracted from a sixteenth century pig

The 16th is now "ancient?"

There wouldn’t have been any pigs in Iberia from the 600s until perhaps the 1100s, for reasons that I suspect could be guessed by anyone here.
