An age-old question that is often asked as a riddle: Which came first? Chicken or egg? If you say chicken, the question arises which egg did the first chicken hatch from? And if you say egg, the question arises which chicken laid the first egg? And perhaps, the most controversial question about eggs is whether eggs are vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
What Is The Mystery Of Chicken?
About 150 million years ago, when the earth was ruled by dinosaurs. Small dinosaurs, big dinosaurs, dinosaurs that ran, dinosaurs that flew. This was the time when due to evolution, some dinosaurs started getting smaller and birds started evolving. The first birds evolved around this time. Evolution doesn’t happen in a linear direction. It can happen in any direction, wherever it fits.
So, some dinosaurs evolved into scarier dinosaurs like T-Rex and some dinosaurs got smaller and evolved into birds. This is why it is said that the common chicken today and the dinosaur T-Rex had a common ancestor. In fact, the T-Rex’s closest living relatives are present-day chickens and ostriches.
