The egg or the chicken?

Eggs were around long before chickens. All birds, including chickens, evolved from dinosaurs; and dinosaurs laid eggs too.

Evolution theory says that something_that_was_not_quite_chicken laid an egg which hatched and matured to be something_more_like_what_we _would_call_a_chicken.

Why not ask who was the first person in the world to speak French?

You'd need to ask an eggspert.

The egg/whatever would eventually become the egg or egg cell.

If you'd like to make a really big leap, we could consider RNA the "egg" as it helps making duplicates of the DNA of a cell in order for the cell to divide and reproduce.

Yes, I have forgotten the technical terms. I remember its "M---osis".

So the egg and the chicken are sitting in bed smoking and one turns to the other and says "#$@#$@ it, you always come first!"

PErhaps more to the philosophical, non-scientific point:

What came first: the can or the can openner?

Cans were around long before designated can opening tools.
