Résumé
Identifying the process of animal domestication in the archaeological record with morphological markers remains debatable since the so called domestication syndrome are more likely the results of selective breeding than early phases of animal domestication. Here we will present how captivity during the growth of a wild ungulate can leave observable morphological prints in its bone anatomy using an experimental approach on the wild boar and the latest development in virtual morphology. Then we will compare these plastic response to change in locomotor behavior with those induced by the last 200 years of selective breeding in pigs. Finally, we will compare this norm of reaction in bone anatomy of modern wild and domestic populations with archaeological Sus scrofa from Mesolithic up to Late Neolithic contexts in Western Europe.
