A simple question.

<< < (3/3)

NekoBot:
What kind of egg is never specified yet all anyone assumes is that its a chickens egg

Light:
Well if you want a literal answer, then of course the egg came first. Many many egg-laying species have existed before the chicken. Hell, egg cells have existed for even longer than that.

NekoBot:
Which would thus simply be the answer to the question. As you've stated light.

What everyone else is arguing is aether or not the chicken or the chicken egg came first

Species-wise, I suppose the egg came first.

Of course egg laying species came before the chicken, but the proteins that form the egg have changed and evolved. It is equally likely that the protein that formed the first chicken egg was produced through mutation of the chicken's ancestor during its life. So you cannot just say that the egg came first when the protein that formed the egg must have been made through the chicken first.
