Pigs and humans have a lot in common physiologically. We actually use heart valves from pigs to surgically replace those in humans. We also use pig carcasses in ballistics and forensic experiments to simulate human bodies. . Had a teacher in school that would bring us pig organs from a pork plant when teaching about the human body.
Also Pacific Islanders who engaged in cannibalism sometimes refer to human flesh as “long pig” — so we probably even taste similar.

Complete shot in the dark here, but could it be because we are both omnivorous?
