Rants and Ramblings: random commentary about culture, media, politics, technology and whatnot.

which came first?

It was the egg, not the chicken. CNN reported yesterday that a team in Britain had solved the riddle.

Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life.

Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg.

Makes sense.

Then I read the reason this whole thing came together:

The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film “Chicken Little” on DVD.

Meh.
