    The exact definition doesn’t matter though, every chicken whether the first or the last, or from the blurry zone between proto-chicken and chicken, has many much older eggs in it’s ancestry. Probably somethig fish something.

      The point is that there’s no single generation where the species went from not a chicken to a chicken. That’s not how evolution works

        No the point is exactly what i think , in exactly the way that i think it. I understand exactly entirely and completely how evolution works. /s

        Revolitionary single mutations do occure sometimes and can mean speciation, so in some cases, there can be one individual that is the true first of the new species.
