Chickens have “evolved” in recent years more than recent centuries
We just keep the chicken name but at what point do they become a different animal.
Evolution is slow and has no definite point in time of “First official example of a 2000s definition of a chicken”
It’s similar to the paradox of the heap.
Of course a “chicken” layed the first chicken egg. But if we called that “chicken” a chicken then her egg would be the first chicken egg. Not the one she just layed.
if you want something crazier, look into ring species. where different species of animals have all their in-between species still alive and mate with each other, but the ones at the extremes cant mate with each other
A chicken egg came before the chicken because it is the same animal and the egg stage is earlier than the adult stage.
Yeah but like where did that chicken come from
TIL the first chicken egg wasn’t laid by a chicken
Proto-chicken>chicken>eschato-chicken
