“If there has been a first
man he must have been
born without father or
mother – which is
repugnant to nature. For
there could not have
been a first egg to give a
beginning to birds, or
there should have been a
first bird which gave a
beginning to eggs; for a
bird comes from an egg.”
Aristotle

...the problem about the egg and
the hen, which of them came
first, was dragged into our talk, a
difficult problem which gives
investigators much trouble. And
Sulla my comrade said that with
a small problem, as with a tool,
we were rocking loose a great
and heavy one, that of
the creation of the world...

“And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought
forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it
was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the
seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.”
- Genesis 1: 21-22

“The egg had to come
first. It is clear that the
first genetically modern
chicken hatched from an
egg laid by a “proto-
chicken” – likely a hybrid
of the grey waterfowl
and red waterfowl.”
