The 'Chicken or the Egg' Scientist says the egg came first

 The question about chickens and eggs which humans have been asking almost since time began, may have finally been answered by scientists who say they’ve discovered that the egg came first.

Humans have bred chickens for at least 10,000 years ago, but one expert has spoken about the existence of eggs as being much older. Luis Villazon is a science and technology educator who trained in zoology. He says "Eggs are much older than chickens. "Dinosaurs laid eggs, the fish that first crawled out of the sea laid eggs, and the weird articulated monsters that swam in the warm shallow seas of the Cambrian Period 500 million years ago also laid eggs.”while these aren’t chicken eggs, “the egg definitely came first", he said. Mr Villazon added that the chicken as we know it today was first bred as a result of the red jungle fowl of Southeast Asia being “hyrbridised” with grey jungle fowl.

“At some point in evolutionary history when there were no chickens, two birds that were almost-but-not-quite chickens mated and laid an egg that hatched into the first chicken." Mr Villazon concluded.
