@SmudgeTheInsultCat @Jason844 I never did understand this question.

From the Creationist standpoint, God made the chicken first obvs.

From the evolutionary and domestication standpoint, this. The pre-chicken laid pre-chicken eggs until gradual chickens. It’s not a quantum-state chicken.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat It answers the age old riddle that seems unanswerable to evolutionarily illiterate (particularly creationists). Which came first the chicken or the egg? Yes, it was definitely the egg from a non-avian dinosaur.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Turtles are misplaced and mammals are missing

Mammals branch off outside this cladogram, don't they?

(and eggs go way way way further back, obviously.)

@Gurre @SmudgeTheInsultCat Placental mammals appeared after the dinosaurs and there are still egg-laying mammals like the platypus.

@SteveSilent @SmudgeTheInsultCat

indeed. But that graph only claimed "eggs already existed here", which isn't the same as "eggs started here".
Many sharks lay eggs too, and including all branches back to there would, while fun, both be space consuming and not needed to make the central point.

Had to look it up: both the platypus and the most common echidna are not threatened. Makes me happy! Felt like the kind of animals that the modern world would have gone ooops and they'd be gone forever.

The turtle branch and the lizard/snake branch should switch places, but Yes: Turtles aren't lizards. And crocs are closer to birds than to the others we usually call reptiles.
