What is it about?

We discovered in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History a common warthog skull that probably reached Europe sometime between 1656 and 1678. This specimen represents the oldest evidence for a warthog in Europe and pre-dates the 1788 naming of the common warthog by at least 100 years.
