Or HaChaim on Leviticus 11:7/אור החיים על ויקרא י״א:ז׳

אוְהוּא גֵּרָה לֹא יִגָּר. פֵּרוּשׁ, תְּנַאי הוּא הַדָּבָר לִזְמַן שֶׁהוּא לֹא יִגָּר, אֲבָל לֶעָתִיד לָבוֹא יַעֲלֶה גֵּרָה וְיַחְזוֹר לִהְיוֹת מֻתָּר, וְלֹא שֶׁיִּשָּׁאֵר בְּלֹא גֵּרָה וְיֻתַּר, כִּי תּוֹרָה לֹא תְשֻׁנֶּה.
1 והוא גדה לא יגר, but it does not chew the cud, etc. The Torah uses these words as a condition, i.e. as long as the pig has not reverted to chewing the cud it may not be eaten. In the future, when it undergoes evolutionary changes so that it will become a ruminant, it will again be fit to be eaten by Jews. It is not the Torah which will adapt to "realities," but "reality" which will adapt to Torah; the laws of the Torah are immutable, the nature of the pig is not.
