It's a question that has perplexed humanityfrom as early as the …(1)…Greeks all the way to the 21st century and we're still dying to know. Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
The question would be simple if we took it …(2)… Egg laying animals existed far before chickens came about. So …(3)…, the egg came before the chicken. But this question, better worded as "the chicken or the chicken egg"? focuses more on the cyclical cause and consequence. That is – if a chicken is born from an egg, where did the egg come from? Another chicken, presumably, which too must have come from an egg. So which came first?

But this all …(5)…on the nature and definition of a chicken egg in the first …(6)… After all, is a chicken egg laid by a chicken or one that simply …(7)…a chicken? Obviously the OV-17 bearing chicken had to come from somewhere. But if an …(8)…laid an egg from which a lion hatched, would it be an …(8)…egg or a lion egg? This leads to the other side of the story – Team Egg.
