It’s always the egg because the thing that laid what we consider a genetic chicken egg wasn’t an animal that we consider a genetic chicken. Mutations happen in utero or whatever it’s called when a baby is growing in an egg
Article takes it further.
It’s not egg before chicken
It’s egg before multicellular life.
Which is groundbreaking and is pretty shocking.
This just seems like another example of a great scientific article, that just had a random clickbait headline thrown on it by the editor or maybe some intern to generate clicks.
I hear you and actually subscribe to your magazine. But…
Is your chicken-zero growing inside a chicken egg, or is it growing in a proto-chicken-thingo™ egg? I agree the thing growing will be born as the worlds first chicken and then grow its own eggs but what do we call the egg it’s in?
Is the egg named after the thing it hatches? Or, is the egg named after the thing that made the egg? Which might be the same as asking, is it called a “chicken egg” or “chicken’s egg” … or… both?
I guess I’ll need to actually read the research paper to find out.
The domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) was a mutation of the red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) that occurred after fertilization and before hatching. Therefore, the egg that the first domestic chicken hatched from was a domestic chicken egg laid by a red jungle fowl.
It was actually a guy named Greg who came first.
He got gregnant and the rest is history.

Multicellular animal organisms all start their lives the same way. Two zygotes merge and fuse
I hate to nitpick but asexual reproduction does not require two zygotes.
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.
Those are examples of far-fetched, never observed things that do not happen with any frequency that can be measured. It’s so rare, in fact, that a genetic trait would be able to be discerned because there would never be a divergent genetic material.
I don’t think that’s what the article is suggesting.
Asexual reproduction has been observed, measured, studied and is fairly well understood.
The specific claim that all multicellular life starts with two zygotes merging is incorrect. While not the main thrust of the article it is wrong.
Your additional claims are simply absurd and you could spend some minimal effort to understand asexual reproduction before making ignorant claims.
Here I will give you a place to start: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=asexual+reproduction+in+animals&oq=asexual+rep
Read your own link. These are all observed after the fact, and the catalyst is not understood. The frequency is also not tied to avian or warmbloods which is even more rare than a mechanism that exists in certain life forms already.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
It is known as a fact that asexual reproduction does occur and does not involve the merging of two zygotes.
Everything else you have spouted is purely irrelevant and is deflection.
It is clear you have too much ego to properly participate in science.
Lol.
This is Lemmy. Better get off that horse before you hurt yourself.
