Chicken or egg -- what came first? Scientists might FINALLY have the answer (and it will surprise you!)
The age-old question of the chicken or the egg is explored through evolutionary biology. Eggs, as membrane-bound containers for embryo development, predate chickens by millions of years. However, the first true chicken emerged from a mutated zygote within an egg laid by nearly-chicken ancestors, making the chicken egg dependent on the chicken's existence.
