Update 2026-01-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator will resolve based on evolutionary biology and scientific consensus:
The egg came first: Amniotic eggs appeared ~340 million years ago, predating chickens (58,000-10,000 years ago)
Counter-argument exists: The protein ovocleidin-17 (OC-17) is essential for chicken eggshell formation and found only in chicken ovaries, suggesting the chicken came first
2024 studies support "egg first" by identifying embryonic-like development in single-celled organisms over a billion years ago
Resolution will be based on the creator's knowledge of this scientific context.
