It’s not from Guinea.
It’s not a pig.
And yet the entire world just agreed to call it a guinea pig and never questioned it.
In this episode of Explaining Everything, Professor Everything dives into one of the most misleading animal names in science—how an Andean rodent became a “pig,” why Guinea got dragged into it, and how history, trade routes, and vibes-based science created a name that makes absolutely no sense.
This is the strange story of how a tiny squeaky animal won the worst identity crisis in zoology.
