NEXT TRIVIA QUESTION FOR +18 REP POINTS!
What Came first, the chicken or the egg? And Why
the dolphin because they are sooooooo pretty and cool
a chicken and egg problem is similar to a situation where something cannot happen until a second thing does, and the second thing cannot happen until the first does.
In this case, the egg is not assumed to be a chicken egg. In effect this changes the question to: "Which came first, a chicken or any egg".
From a pseudo science point of view this question can be answered quite easily. The egg came first because any female sex cell is called an egg.
If the egg is defined structurally as the hard shelled thing, and the chicken a feather covered animal, the answer is still simple. Evolutionary scientists believe the first hard shell egg was the amniotic egg laid around 200 million years ago, and was laid by the animal who was the link between amphibians and reptiles. One of the first dinosaurs that we know had feathers was the Archaeopteryx, and came much later. Modern birds would not arise until 150 million years ago, descending from theropod dinosaurs.
In this case, the first chicken must have been the mutated offspring of a proto-chicken that laid the egg containing the first true chicken.
The crux of the matter is how to biologically define 'a chicken'. What level of genetic similarity or structural similarity determine whether an organism is a chicken? One can only define what was the first chicken after the fact, thus any definition of the first chicken becomes arbitrary. The question 'which came first?' ignores the complicated reality of speciation.
According to the principles of speciation, neither the chicken nor the egg came first, because speciation does not occur in simple, obvious units. In fact, evolution is about a slow transition in an overall population. What qualifies as chicken (ignoring the many diverse modern types of chicken) involves a wide range of genetic traits (alleles) that are not encompassed in a single individual and continue to be modified from generation to generation.
The transition from non-chicken to chicken is a gray area in which several generations are involved, and therefore which includes many many chicken-and-egg events, with no one step representing the whole. Since the result of the process is an incomplete transition into various new characteristics rather than one single blueprint, a new species, "chicken", is only identified in hindsight when the species can be obviously identified as different from its ancestral stock.

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed.* The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face and the egg is frowning and looking put out.* The egg mutters to no one in particular, "I guess we answered that question."
