I have always wondered what came first, the chicken or the egg. I believe that since organisms evolved from being unicellular to multicellular and began to perform meiosis and not mitosis as the form of their of reproduction and evolved millions of years, the chicken and the egg is not a question of which came first, but it is merely talking about a relatively recent generation. If you can start back at a single organism, you can imagine the evolution. A single celled organism turns into a marine dwelling multicellular organism. That marine organism turns into a land living organism, and slowly, over millions of years, that land organism species slowly evolves into a bird, and then specifically into a chicken that lays eggs. And I don’t believe that I am far off, because all organisms under the Kingdom Animalia reproduce with some kind of egg. That is my point of view, I am open to anyone elses opinion.

I believe that the egg came first.

If the egg came first, who sat on it?

[sachin]

Linn, Gallus evolved from primitive species x of chicken….. so it was neccesary to mate x-species
with each other….. then some mutations occured in zygote….. Egg got layed….. x-species mother sat on it…. hatched….. then gallus species came into existance…… simple…

so Egg first….

[Linn]

OK, that really confused me 😕 😆 😆

[sachin]

That simply as man evolved from monkey….. fertilised zygote is needed

Chiken evolved from x-chicken……. and egg is needed.

Hope you ll understand …. that was simplest explaination for me…….

[Dr.Stein]

WHO said we evolved from monkey??????????????? NO WAY!!!! 😈 We are not even derived from ape, moreover from monkey or lemur…. that’s disgusting!!!! 👿 😆

Fit…. 😮 ….. I know that our race is different and have seperated from pongides at the stage of Ramapithecus…… I was just explaining that to a person who is finding that difficult to understand; so I’ve used simple way for that…Ok ❓ 😆

The egg came first, I have read from a book stating that egg came first before the chicken.

You are right Desty……. 😛

If anyone bothered to search the forum, you’ll find we had a similar answer….

Hee hee, totally in agree :D.

[TheIntelligentDesigner]

Anymore scientific reasonings? Because all I’m seeing is philosophy.

[jimmystang]

um, in case this hasn’t been clarified, but overwhelming evidence does point to the egg coming first.

reasoning:
genetic material cannot change during an animal’s life.
therefore, the first ancestor of the chicken had to have evolved into the "true chicken" as a zygote/embryo, NOT as an adult.

so, because the organism inside the eggshell does NOT change when it hatches, the first real chicken had to have been in an egg.

The best thing is asking to the chicken 😕

Nice idea 💡 lets go…. 😮

Me to chicken: cock..kocks..kokkk…cokok…kokokokok….?

chicken to me: Ckorocor…..cocko….ckockoko..

Hey, 🙂
She said "Egg"… 😛

😆 😆

[Dr.Stein]

Wrong!

When I asked to my chicken, he answered: "ciip ciip ciiiip pak pak paaaak…", which means: "It’s none of your business!!" OMG! Bad chicken I have 🙄 😆

[Dustfinger]

Back to the original theme: I think the chicken came first. The cells evolved….etc
The egg came only when the chicken was already there…..for who would have produced the egg if not ?

[Dr.Stein]

Ok but how we have chicken for the first time if not from egg? 😉

[sachin]

Hey; Doc this would create chaose again…

Just tell them elaborately now…. 🙂

See DustFinger….

Evolution of any organism in to higher type is not seen in same generation, variations are observed in next or preceding generations.These variations can be due to interspecific mating or mutation in organisms that might have occured in earlier generation and it reflects in next or preceding generations.
Same way Hen might have evolved from its ancestor species due to mating with another species or by mutation…. And the eggs carrying variation had been layed by the ancestoral species female…. Then in hundreds of eggs Female(hen) had born that layed eggs of it’s own species different from the ancestoral one by mating with Cock(Male) of her new species and poduced more species members….these members were potentialy viable to suit environmental conditions and survived..and populated…

It was the whole story……And thus Hen came from Egg….. So egg first.. 😛

[Dr.Stein]

Objection! 😈

[sachin]

What Objection Doc… 😕

[Dustfinger]

Yes objection !!!!
The chicken came first because how can the egg have been built then before???

[Doc44]

came from a reptilian egg.

mutations are passed on and adaptations are not.

bet Archyopterx’s father was ticked…"He don’t look a thing like me."

Im Sure…….. Not from Reptiles…. 🙄

[Dustfinger]

Yeah but so where did the ancestor species come from then, according for you ? Has it got a beginning or was it just there ?

[Linn]

When did the egg "adapt" so as to need to be incubated??? 😕 😕

[ahm_k1]

I think chicken first as if you look at it scientifically :
you ll know that a parent first
if you read in any sacred book you ll know that too..
why ?
because fist of all the begining of the whole creature was a-couple of every species then reproduct then the mutation occur , different apperence , then hybridization ……etc
and so on so chicken first 😀

[avinash kumar singh]

every thing on this earth has evolved as result of organic evolution. hence its quite clear that first chicken must have evolved from some organism in the evolotional hierarchy of birds.

[david23]

so many theories, not bad though. But pretty much depends on which genes came first, or got incorporated into the chicken genome first. The genes responsible for making an egg shell or some other genes. The tree of life project is pretty useful to answer these questions.

[dr. dugmore]

egg!!!!!

eggs rule and will take over the earth!!!!

[MichaelXY]

The answer is simple. The supermarket came first, and came up with those handy cartons to carry them in. 😆

[david23]

LOL very nice, the supermarket invented the cartons, the cartons produced the eggs in order for the supermarket to make more cartons. Therefore, the cartoon specifies can live on. Excellent idea hahaha.

[sachin]

One thing I want to clearify that "chickens egg" came second that means "chicken" came first.

But the egg from which first hen came was layed by it’s ancestor so the "egg" came first.

Bit confusing….. 🙁 😕

[derek edington]

just so you know all- yall, the Wikipedia is not a reliable source of info. i think that the chicken came 1st because with-out the bird there aint no egg. good luck with the answer, keep searching.

😀 😆 between chicken and egg? well, whatever you order will come first 😉

[AstusAleator]

Such a simple question with a simple answer.

There were egg-laying species around long before what we identify as a modern chicken existed. They weren’t all birds either…

Therefore… the egg existed long before the chicken.

[Dustfinger]

Well, any egg for sure. But a chicken’s egg didn’t exist before the chicken existed ! Coz the species evolved out of quite a few cells at first before they became multicellular, and with this came the chicken and after that surely the egg.

[sunil124]

i think that all cell coming together and then it fused and hen is comes then reproduce and egg willl comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Cat]

Depends on how you define "chicken egg". Does is have to look like chicken egg does now, or is it a chicken egg if the chicken comes out of it, or did chicken had to lay it?
Anyways, I am for the egg: different breeds of chickens have different looking eggs, so however different the first egg to produce chicken looked like I would still call it chicken egg. And anyone that thinks that chicken came first, needs to clarify what is a "chicken", since I am sure 1st one did not look exactly like common variety of today.
