          If I say no, are you going to pick the next most recent named ancestor of the chicken, and keep repeating until someone says yes?

        Unless you define a chicken egg as an egg of which a chicken is born (or of which a chicken could be born)

      Doesn’t matter as it’s not a stated in the question. It just needs to be an egg.

      Wherever humans draw the line. The meme uses the assumption that there is a clear change from earlier species to later descendants, when it reality it is a continuous change of many characteristics each time an individual reproduces and spreads their genetics. It’s the flaw of the missing link argument.
