This article reads almost like a narrative. The author writes about the experiments and hypotheses as if writing stories (which is a smart way to keep the reader reading), and does it in a manner that doesn't undermine the seriousness and legitimacy of the scientific research. It's impressive because she is addressing a topic --pigs and their evolutionary biology--that is usually presented rather dryly.
The lede is great too--what better way to hook a reader than by referencing a tale straight out of his childhood? I also like that she offers us some historical background; how the pig was domesticated.
