I'm taking an online bio class, and we were instructed to write 3 posts on this question. Here's my first:
"It would have to be the egg. However, my answer is more of a technicality than anything else. First of all, we would need to define what constitutes a chicken, since chickens gradually evolved over time from something else. So, we'd need to declare what the first chicken was at some point in the distant past. Since the use of eggs was present in chicken's ancestors, we can be certain that the first chicken did in fact come from an egg, and it's parents would have almost been chickens, but not quite. Be that as it may, our definition of the first chicken would need to be specifically defined, since chickens have changed though the ages, and the first chickens would have been almost identical from their parents, but they would be just barely "chickenish" enough be be considered chickens by modern standards."
Could you help me generate new ideas to discuss on this?
