Yes I've heard the pig idea. It's supported by the fact that our immune systems are apparently very similar to pigs', which I assume is why we use bits of pig to repair our faulty heart valves, and quite a few religions have taboos against eating pigs, presumably because we're similar enough to catch their parasites... This idea goes back a long way.
