A loving chicken. there never was some loving little monkey that turned into a loving human, if so, why the forget are there still those damn monkeys we see today? So, I beleive that the chicken laid the damn egg.

Isolated Evolution. The same organism living in two different places evolves into two different species.

So, why aren't there Cavemen walking here today?

The single celled organism came first

Best point I've seen made on this subject in a while.

Could be what Nimbus said, or one species of monkey evolved differently. Also note that we have yet to find a species that is directly related to us, which could mean none of that species is left.

Supposedly there was 3 species of humanoids living during our more primitive stage. One was a very small but very intelligent species, the other was a very large and string species, but stupid, and the last was us, somewhere in the middle. We wiped each out. My source would be a friend studying something about this in school. So I can't say if this is true.

Besides, the reason we evolve is to adapt to changes in the environment and what not. Therefore, older stages of something would not be around because they either adapted to the change or were wiped out because of it.

It is not a monkey that evolved into a human as it was today. It would probably have been a common species to both that evolved in different ways separately: the adaptations proved beneficial in the situations for each and so they out-competed the others of their individual species. Hence why they're both here today and previous evolutions of them are not.

No one ever specifies if they're talking about a chicken egg or not, so technically the egg came first.

But after a bit of thinking I think the chicken came first, assuming we are talking about chicken eggs. The thing that laid the egg was not a chicken, so it's egg would not be a chicken egg, whether a chicken came from it or not. So the chicken came first, from what I think anyways.

Things don't have to go instinct, and some things will go instinct.

It's the egg, dinosaurs were layin' them before any chickens clucked their way into this world! But if you are being specific, then:
An animal similar to the chicken lay an egg, natural selection did its thing, and there you go!

[Mateo]

But it wasn't a chicken egg, it was a whatever came before the chicken's egg. I guess it depends on the true definition of an egg though.
