Chicken and Egg Problem Solved:
Java Pimp writes “It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: ‘Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.’ So, does this mean we can now show P=NP?”
This one is for Zoo Boy. Let the debate begin.
This has been my standard answer to this question for years. Clearly the Egg came first, as there were eggs far before chickens. You can’t have a chicken without an egg.
But, can you have an egg without a chicken? Because chicken is rarely a breakfast food for me, and egg is most definately breakfast food.
I jest. I agree, and had personally come to the same answer a long time ago.
Great site loved it alot, will come back and visit again.
