The Chicken or the Egg

I have never understood the question

“What came first

The chicken or the egg”

It should be the simplest question

for anybody

that has ever graduated the 5^th grade to answer

Chickens entered the picture

between 8 and 9 million years ago.

There were species that laid eggs

over 100 million years ago.

Answer

The egg came long before the chicken by a long shot.
