What comes first a chicken or an egg??

Question

science question.

Answer 1

No one knows...

Answer 2

It all depends. If you are a creationist, then obviously the chicken came first, thus voiding the argument. However, if you are an evolutionist, then the opposite is true; the egg came first. Let's go back a bit, to the time of the dinosaurs. Recent archaeological discoveries have shown that dinosaurs such as Velociraptor had feathers and down, these were the beginnings of the bird. Later, evolution favored flying reptiles, such as Archeopteryx came into being, and were flying around for a few million years until one day the layed an egg, and all of a sudden, out came something not quite reptile, and yet not quite aviary. Eventually evolution changed the face of the earth and one day a creature very similar to the chicken layed an egg, perhaps the creature had webbed feet, or some sort of internal organ that common chickens do not possess. When the time came for that egg to hatch, out came a modern chicken, and after another few milloions years, they dominated the poultry scene. Thus, the egg came before the chicken.

Answer 3

The Egg.

"Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.

Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.

Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg."

Answer 4

The egg. This evolved with the first animals maybe 600 million years ago. Some of the the oldest known ones are eggs of coral. The chicken was not around until breeding and domestication about several thousand years ago.

Now ask a question that nobody has thought of like "Why is the sky blue?"

Answer 5

The chicken. Eggs are very considerate like that.

This is a philosophical question that's not meant to have a scientific answer. I'm sure it's meant to make you ponder the nature of infinity or something like that.

If you want a scientifically reasoned answer, though, I would say that eggs existed long before chickens did (dinosaurs laid eggs, after all), so that's my answer. There ya go.

Answer 6

The chicken evolved from her mother who was slightly non-chicken. (very small iteration like a beak which is slightly different or something like that). Anyway, the non-chicken mother laid a non-chicken egg with a modern chicken inside.
The modern chicken came first. Then a year later she laid the first chicken egg.

Answer 7

The eternal question !
Unicellular beings can reproduce by splitting, but they also produce spores carried away by the air in order to colonize other environments.
Superior organisms developed specialized cells with the "instructions" and the raw materials to build an embryo. The eggs.

Answer 8

The chicken was first created because a hatched egg could do nothin without its mother.

Answer 9

Surely you noticed when you wrote this question that Yahoo told you it has been asked 100s of times before........ And, you could have checked previous answers.......

This question is getting boring.

But, by the way, it was the egg first.

Answer 10

I think...chicken? I'm not really sure, but how can an egg come first if an egg comes from a chicken? :O
Confusing.

Answer 11

Egg I think
