The age-old question of “Which came first, the egg or the chicken?” is both a philosophical and scientific riddle. Scientifically, the answer leans towards the egg.
Here’s why:
The first chicken likely evolved from a bird that was not quite a chicken (a proto-chicken).
Through genetic mutations during reproduction, an egg was laid that contained the first true chicken. This means the egg, as the carrier of genetic information that defined the first chicken, came before the chicken itself.
From an evolutionary perspective, eggs existed long before chickens, as they were used by reptiles and other animals millions of years before chickens even existed.
So, scientifically speaking, the egg came first! ?!
