Did you know that a pig has more in common with a man than a monkey does? Scientist used to talk about trying to use pigs to grow replacement organs for humans. (Haven't seen anything in a few years. Don't mean they've given up tho.)

Talk about little resemblance to the original!

No. Pigs aren't primates, do not share the structural similarities that all primates have, nor does their DNA carry the similar sequences and ERV insertions common to all primates.

No personal offense meant here, but do you have a reference for this rather bizarre claim?
