Introduction If you’ve ever thought about chicken, you probably either thought about the chicken nuggets that are going to be for lunch, or which came first the chicken or the egg. You would be arguing with yourself for a long time. “The chicken came first, because it had to lay the egg! But the egg has to come first to get the chicken to come out” Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter put it as “A circle has no beginning”. But without background knowledge about genetics, your head would spontaneously combust (So don’t start thinking about it yet, otherwise, the school district will have to explain to the government how they found brain remnants in the school). How did this happen? You have probably heard of climate change, the world might be doomed, blah blah blah… This may have affected the birds back then. So a past-chicken (I’ll be using the term “past-chicken” by meaning the bird the chicken descended from), was living in an environment that was changing. The past-chicken needed a better way to survive, so its descendant was changed a little bit, that would help it survive in the wild. So while the climate changed, the past-chicken changed, eventually resulting in the extremely dumb bird that normally ends up on your plate at dinner. Why did this happen? Going back a long time ago, there were no chickens, but there were a lot of birds back then. But to get the chicken, you would have to have a mutated egg, different that what the parents came from, giving it a better chance to live in the environment (but the chicken still has a very low chance of surviving, though). So over the years, the process repeated, as a result of climate change. Then the well-known chicken descended from all the past-chickens, is born in an egg. Conclusion So now we’ve answered the question. The past-chicken gets altered, over the course of climate change, and it has to adapt to the environment. Then the last Beta-chicken lays the chicken egg, then we get the chicken. Source That Made This Possible: ASAP science
