Somewhere in Africa our black ancestors are buried along with pre-chicken bones; geological indication of a long standing affinity for this yard bird.

what are you trying to say?
are they buried with watermelon seeds and empty 40's too?

According to the History channel, I'm afraid so.

Which came first, the 40 or the hoodlum?

Hey Watchtower you made some great points about the egg had been part of organic life long before the chicken. Im sure the chicken has significantly changed genetically since we first labled it the chicken, with all those hormones and selective breeding.


Aden about the pre chicken in Africa, that is very interesting. That means homosapiens have been raising chicken in captivity as part of a food source for a very long time.

True, but the modern chicken doesn't even resemble the normal chicken 100 years ago, for starters.

It's like weed through history, we've selectively bred it for certain benefits for thousands of years, I figure any change in the egg for as long as we've been breeding them, has been in adaptation to other changes we bred into them, like more meat, growing faster and bigger (thicker shells, quicker hatching times, etc.). Our ancestors would probably shit themselves if they saw a modern chicken. :lol:

that's absolutely incorrect because the primitive ancestor of the
domesticated chicken is still alive and well, it's known as the red
jungle fowl and is found throughout asia where the chicken originated



this is the brown leghorn... notice there's little difference

If presented with an egg and told it was laid by a Greater Crested Shroomhen, but what came out was a new species Lesser Crested Shroomhen due to a genetic mutation, is the egg that it hatched from a greater or lesser crested shroomhen egg?

Or something.

the egg was created by the greater therefor the egg would be the greater,
the offspring would be a mutation of the parents assuming the parents were
both from the species of the greater

Actuality exceeds potentiality.

The chicken came first, as the egg is only a potential chicken.

This would be true assuming you believed in creationism where the chicken simply came into existence out of nowhere one day!

Genesis 2:2 And on the 7th day God made the chicken. And then he cooked that shit and fried it and God said, "Chicken is good."

no I can see where he's coming from, if a pullet lays an egg the egg
could hatch to be either the same as the parent or have the mutation
that makes it a chicken, the potential to be either but the problem is
that egg still came first

And that chicken came from where?

This joke is so universally puzzling because it screws up the overly simplistic way that we divide up space and time.

I think cloning my disagree with that.
Now I'll admit I know very little of the cloning process but...

my understanding is
you can take an egg (a single large cell) remove the DNA of one animal (animal A)
replace the DNA of another animal (animal B)
reinsert the egg into animal A,B or even C
and wind up with animal B

now assuming I'm not entirely off my mark, it's doesn't sound like it matters which animal the egg comes out of but rather which animals DNA was contained inside the egg.

Scientists solve chicken and egg riddle*
By Hilary Whiteman, CNN
July 14, 2010


Editor's Note: *Maybe

London, England (CNN) -- Researchers in Britain have been credited with cracking the age-old conundrum about the chicken and the egg. But are they right?

After the publication of the rather dry-sounding scientific paper, "Structural Control of Crystal Nuclei by an Eggshell Protein," press headlines proclaimed the answer was... the chicken.

However, one of the paper's lead authors, Colin Freeman, from the University of Sheffield in northern England, told CNN that the result was not as conclusive as it seemed.

"I would argue that the concept of an eggshell came about way before the chicken, it's dinosaur or even pre-dinosaur thing. That's something to talk to an evolutionary biologist about probably," he said.

So how did a paper about "crystal nuclei" become proof that the chicken pre-dated the egg?

Freeman and his team, which included colleagues from the University of Warwick, were researching a protein found in eggshells called ovocledidin-17. It is also found in chickens' ovaries, but until the team's research its purpose was not clear.

Using Britain's national supercomputer, a machine dubbed HECToR based in Edinburgh, Scotland, they were able to simulate the process of biomineralization, or the production of minerals or solid materials inside organisms.

It was a world first and revealed that one potential purpose of the protein ovocledidin-17 is to speed up the production of eggshell within the chicken so that in 24 hours an egg is ready to be laid.

"What we have really identified is that the protein seems to accelerate the crystallization process so it can make that eggshell appear far quicker. In simple terms it accelerates calcite formation," Freeman said.

They also found that the egg can't be produced without the protein ovocledidin-17 in the chickens' ovaries, so that means that the chicken must have come first. Right?

"Obviously, it's not really what we were trying to get out of our simulations, but it's an interesting question isn't it?" Freeman said.

Rather than putting an end to bickering over the true order of the egg, the researchers were trying to understand more about how shell is formed so that they can apply their findings in other disciplines, including medicine.

"The quote my colleague John Harding always says is, 'could we ever be as clever as algae?'" Freeman said.

"They produce these wonderful shells that protect them in the North Sea. That crystal structure is far in advance of anything that we as humans can create in the lab," Freeman said, adding, "We can't make a human skeleton in the lab..."

Perhaps one day they will be able to. And perhaps one day someone will conclusively put an end to the argument -- was it the chicken or the egg?
