      No need for heat. If a "chicken egg" is defined as "an egg laid by a chicken" then a chicken must have existed before the first chicken egg. But if a "chicken egg" is defined as "an egg that will hatch into a chicken" (assuming it's a healthy egg kept warm and safe) then a chicken egg must have existed before the first chicken. In summary, a proto-chicken laid a mutated egg that hatched into the first chicken, and the question is whether that egg should be called a "chicken egg."

      @@phynx1756 not exactly. Free will is simply the ability to choose and humans generally always have that choice. The concept of the "deterministic nature of cause and effect" is simply that all effects have a cause, that nothing is truly random. Anything is only seemingly random because we can't predict the effect of an action or circumstance, however with the more knowledge we gain, the more accurately we can predict things and the less random the world seems.

      @Madalin Grama Hem, not exactly, current species of sharks can reproduce have the three ways of reproduction. The most "primitives" are ovipares and lay eggs they attach to rocks, most of the sharks are ovovivipare, which mean they are born fully formed, but grow in utero in a separate egg, and some sharks are vivipare.
      But what made mammals, or at least placental mammals so unique is not the viviparity, but the placenta. Sharks don't have placenta, even the vivipares ones, they have a vitelline sack, like of an egg, but connected to the mother and common to all the embryos. And guess what, the DNA from viuses concerns the placenta ^^

      Effectively. The mucus plug is a separate membrane from the amniotic sac. The mucus plug can detach without the "water break," but not the other way around, and the amniotic sac is a closer analogy to an eggshell, since it surrounds the fetus and keeps fluid inside.

    Wow! That was super interesting. I was always told in school that egg cells in mammals aren't like eggs from birds, just kind of similar in some ways.. but they are the same! But they just develop differently after fertilisation. It's really cool how interconnected everything is. So many things about us originated by chance, like all mammals having an inner ear bone must've originally been one creature that randomly had them, right? I know a lot about physics, and a little about chemistry, but far less about evolutionary biology.

    Well, this vid is years old, but there's s much nonsense in the comment section. Here's the answer.
    Just follow this simple sequence;
    1. chickens develop in eggs that hatch
    2. those eggs are laid by mothers (hens)
    3. chickens evolved from an ancestral species (jungle fowl)
    4. jungle fowl develop in eggs that hatch
    5. those eggs are laid by mothers (also called hens)
    - So, in the case of chickens, they hatch from eggs, clearly demonstrating that eggs must come first
    - As for the first chickens, that's why points 3, 4 and 5 are included; chickens evolved from a prior species and _that_ has the same sequence of egg first
    - Taking it back to the first egg of this type; the first amniotes, this egg type evolved from reptiliomorph ancestors 300+mya. Therefore the egg _still_ came first
