One of life’s greatest questions finally answered: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

“It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first.”

It turns out there’s a protein, ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), that’s only found in the ovaries of chickens that is crucial to the formation of an egg’s shell.

OC-17 coverts calcium carbonate into calcite crystals, which in turn form the shell. No OC-17, no shell, and since OC-17 is only found in chicken ovaries, the chicken had to have come first.

I’m being pedantic on purpose but technically the egg came first because reptiles evolved before chickens did.

(Yes I know they are talking about chicken eggs. Leave me alone!)

That’s the answer I always have too. Reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects. All lay eggs (except for a few exceptions) and all evolved before birds.

   When people asked what went first, I always answered “my math teacher!” o.o

    My little brother brought up a good point: A chicken has to be there to keep the eggs warm, too.
