"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world." Plutarch, Table Talk, Moralia 120 AD
A Hen lays an Egg after light-sensitive cells behind her eyes message her ovary to release an ovum into the egg yolk. Fertilized by sperm, coated by albumen, encased in shell as the egg travels through the oviduct. This creative process encompasses twenty-four hours; as the rotation of Earth on its axis.

The journal Science published a watercolor of a 150-million-year-old feathered dinosaur called Anchiornis (above) an ancient relative of living birds... Along with the dinosaur’s bones, the fossil also preserved feathers across its whole body. And in those feathers are microscopic structures called melanosomes. The size, shape and arrangement of the melanosomes help give color to the feathers of living birds. Carl Zimmer, New York Times 2/04/10
