Domestication can change the olfactory system. In the domestic pig, most olfactory structures in the forebrain are 30% smaller than in wild boar (Kruska and Rohrs, 1974). 

Theophrastus was frail and sickly as an infant and suffered from rickets as a child. The effects of the disease can be seen in an etching that was made of Paracelsus as an adult. According to legend, he was also a eunuch, the result of an encounter with a wild boar. Another story says that he was castrated by some drunken soldiers. No one really knows which story is true or whether Paracelsus was indeed emasculated. Portraits of him as an adult never show him as having a beard, and he never became involved with any woman. Furthermore, he once declared that it was better to be a eunuch than an adulterer. On the other hand, he became bald in his later life and eunuchs almost never go bald.

Ivory is most commonly thought of as coming from elephants, but the teeth or tusks from walruses, hippopotamuses, marine whales and dolphins, and members of the swine family such as wild boar and warthogs have also been used. 

Often forgotten as a source of ivory, there are various species of the pig family, Suidae, that bear tusks. These include wild boar, warthog, bush pig, babirusa and others. They are found worldwide with the exception of Australia, though they are no longer very common in North America. 

The wild boar, Sus scmfa, was once native to the whole of Europe, but died out in some of the northern countries, including the UK. It is thought that their lecolanisation of the UK followed the Great Storm of 1987 when wild boar escaped from rare breeds farms. Like all suids, they are prolific breeders and are now happily multiplying in the south eastern counties.
