Since the dawn of humanity, there's one question that has scrambled the minds of history's greatest thinkers. That question is: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Experts argue that although eggs evolved millions of years before the chicken, this doesn't necessarily mean the egg came first. So, do you think these egg-heads have cracked this ancient puzzle? If the question is simply whether chickens or eggs evolved first, the answer is certainly eggs. The first eggs of any kind evolved about 600 million years ago. The first hard-shelled eggs followed about 195 million years ago. Even the first bird eggs date back 120 million years. Chickens, meanwhile, only emerged 3,000 years ago. However, the first specimen of the domestic chicken would have been born to chicken-jungle fowl hybrid parents. This means the first chicken came before the first chicken egg. There, now that’s settled. Now, where do all those missing socks go???
