Philosophy Illuminated: Which Came First, The Chicken Or The Egg?
<p>This is a debate that has been ongoing for eons of years through the lens of philosophers and scientists as well as amongst friendly gatherings.</p>
<p>The scientific answer leans towards the egg where evolutionary biology suggests that species evolve through small, gradual changes, meaning that at some point, a bird species that was not quite a chicken yet, laid an egg, and due to genetic mutations or variations, the egg hatched into what we would recognize as the first true chicken. This process is a part of evolution, where different species emerge over millions of years.</p>
<p>Eggs have been known to be laid by birds and other reptiles long before chickens existed, meaning, “Egg” as a concept predates chickens.</p>
