I just happened upon this site (actually during a seacrh to see photos of the 3 armed infant) so I am not familiar with the context or nature of this forum. Thus, if I’m missing the point in responding I apologize. That said, I am a med student and biology is a big part and its worth noting that besides the conventional shell structure, the female reproductive gamete ( reproductive cell with half the required chromosomal material) is refered to as a egg. Cell theory states that all matter is made up of cells and all cells come from pre-existing cells, which still leaves the initial question up to debate, but it would suffice to say that the egg, in the cellular sense of the word, came first. If I’ve totally missed the point I apologize for wasting space.

Does anyone have logs of when this question was asked in the first UES forum? I wish I could compare the answers we mentioned back then.

I read an article like this about 3 years ago. Sadly, I got into an “arguement” with a “friend” of mine and needless to say, I won.

Considering this bit of information, we can conclude that all species are just genetic defects of the species before them. That’s what evolution is.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. Oh gosh. I’ll have to print this article and keep a copy of it in bag. Then as soon someone mentions the ‘Chicken or Egg’ question, I’ll pop this out. I knew it!

So now we have to bother ourselves, and the next couple of generations with other useless questions… Any thoughts anyone?

Soo…does this mean we are all inbred too? Am I the only one who sees the obvious relation to Adam and Eve? Two genetically odd monkeys starting off to make an entire race!

I’m glad this debate has been laid to rest. I guess we all knew that it would be explained by evolution somehow. It must have been a gradual process to turn into chicken, and there were probably plenty of hybrid changes in the process. Well, one of life’s mysteries solved!
