Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The egg, fish were laying them long before chickens walked the earth :)
But actually, it was dinosaurs.
Ummmmm... fish predate all land creatures according to evolution.... that's not to say something with eggs didn't predate fish, but I'm too lazy to go look.
Yes, but I was talking about predecessors to the chicken, like Archeopteryx (one of the first feathered dinosaurs), which is/was (my education is dated) believed to be the predecessor of birds. As far as eggs are concerned, they predate fish considerably.
As far as I'm aware, eggs don't predate anything. How could they - they don't have legs or mouths so couldn't eat anything if they could run to catch it :-) Don't confuse predation with predate :)
