The egg was first.

So, according to CNN, the chicken and egg question has been solved.

The article says a geneticist, chicken-farmer, and philosopher have agreed that it was definitely the egg that came first. This is because genetic material doesn't change throughout an animal's life, so the first chicken must have come from an egg that contained some slightly mutated DNA.

Wow. I always say it was the chicken. This is because chicken tastes better than eggs.
