Praxius

I see the difference, here.

You're saying that when the proto-chicken lays the egg, the egg already represented the modern chicken, so the egg is first.

I'm saying that the egg is only 1/2 the DNA. So the egg isn't the DNA of the chicken, but the proto-chicken, and the resulting fertilized egg is the chicken, which is first.

I guess it depends really on if you want to ask if you consider the egg as 1/2 the DNA or as the container for the whole thing.

I consider it 1/2, since a chicken can lay an unfertilized egg.
