When it is a zygote there is no egg.
What? Even in humans zygotes happen after fertilization. After the egg meets sperm.
Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.
Dan, it’s a false problem, a seductive one. In reality, the chicken and the egg co-arose. They arose in mutual dependance upon each other. They are interdependently originated. It is simply not possible to have one without the other
Wrong. There was a first chicken. It's called evolution. There was a time when there weren't chickens or eggs and they did not co-arise. Just like there was a first amoeba, first ceolecanth, first duckbilled playtpus, and, yes, first chicken.
And that first chicken laid the first chicken egg. If we are talking about the first egg though... that happened looooooong before the first chicken.
So what came first the duckbilled platypus, or the egg -- oh wait, playpuses are mammals. So maybe the question should be: What came first the duckbilled playtpus or the nipple?
What a waste of a holiday weekend! |
