The chicken came first. You cannot have an egg without a chicken. But you cannot have a chicken without an egg. This is a familiar philosophical debate in any nursing home. Normally that is as far as it gets, before the folks start talking about soap operas and the price of cat food, or the Alzheimer patients get involved. Which is a shame because the next logical step is to surmise that they both came first. And last. Which is the correct answer.
The Chegg was half bird half ovum, essentially an egg with wings. Evolutionary wise a complete disaster. The Chegg could fly but landing was impossible without offering itself up as an omelette. It couldn’t feed properly; pecking at seed was fraught with danger. Mating was ridiculous, shell and albumen coated feathers everywhere. This calciferous aviator had to evolve fast or face extinction. So the egg part went one way and the bird part the other. This type of evolutionary step can be seen everywhere. A modern day example is the Spice Girls or any Government.
The Chegg grew from an egg. The more correct question is which came first, the Chegg or the egg? And of course the answer to that is obvious.
