The age old debate of which came first? The chicken, or the egg? There have been mentions of it found in the writings of Aristotle, a well-known Greek philosopher who lived over two thousand years ago, before 300 years BC. Puzzled by the conundrum, he decided that both the bird and the egg must have existed from the beginning.
There have been many theories and heated debates over time, with some more solid, believable and scientifically-backed conclusions in more recent years. The general consensus in the scientific world is that the egg came first, and we here at Get Laid Beds agree.
We agree for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it’s physically impossible for any creature to evolve during its lifespan. Evolution is a process which happens over the course of a very long time. To suggest that a single bird similar to a chicken evolved into a chicken during its life isn’t feasible. Besides, a species cannot be categorised and recognised if only a single animal of that species exists. The point at which a subspecies separates from the species it developed from and began to breed among itself it is recognised as a single species.
On that logic, it must be the egg that came first. Two birds similar to chickens will have bred and the bird inside the egg will have been subject to a mutation of the DNA which will have made it a chicken as we know today. The chicken would have interbred with the other species until they separated entirely and became a species in their own right.
It’s hypothesised that the chicken is a descendant of red junglefowl, a wild bird which lives in Asia and was domesticated over five thousand years ago. New research states that the modern chicken may have been a mixture of both red junglefowl and another, similar species called grey junglefowl.
Well there you have it! The egg came first, you have it on the authority of Get Laid Beds and thousands of professionals in the scientific community.
