Why are pigs used as models of human biology Dear Ecolog-Listers:
I often wonder what are the reasons why pigs seem to be used so often in studies of human physiology. For phylogenetic reasons, I would have thought chimps would be the preferred choice. Is it because of humane, $, or are there other considerations? Thank you. If you know, please send me an email to: [email protected] Sincerely, Jorge Jorge A. Santiago-Blay, PhD blaypublishers.com 1.
