The age-old question is cracked: the chicken came first.
Scientists at the University of Sheffield discovered that ovocleidin-17 (OC-17) — a protein essential for forming eggshells — is only found in a hen’s ovaries. That means no hen = no eggshell = no egg. Simple biology, not just philosophy.
So while evolutionary steps brought us proto-chickens, the first true chicken egg could only come from a chicken. Science wins this round.
