Well, I’m glad
that’s settled:
After centuries of ruminating on one of life's great mysteries, science has finally made a bold declaration. No longer will we wonder "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Professor John Brookfield, specialist in evolutionary genetics from England's University of Nottingham, insists that the egg predates the chicken.
But if that's true, who laid the egg?
Brookfield notes that genetic material doesn't change over the course of an organism's lifetime. Any change or mutation that took place to create the first chicken must have taken place within the confines of an egg.
"Therefore the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg. The egg came first."
