At what point would a creature that was very much like a chicken but not quite tip over into being an actual chicken? It wasn't until I was out of University that I had any understanding of the theory of evolution through reading articles and watching youtube videos and while I don't claim to have an amazing amount of knowledge please allow me to butcher some very basic evolution for you here the distinction between what is a chicken and what is almost, but not quite a chicken is decided by humans we like grouping things this is this that is that these are the ways that they are similar and these are the ways <garbled> different we see the progress of evolution through periodic markers of change the most famous image image relating to evolution is called 'The March of Progress' its the one that looks like this it was created by an artist called Rudolph Zallinger that's not particularly important to what I have to say today but 'Rudolph Zallinger' or 'The March of Progress' is bound to be the answer to a trivia question one Christmas and when that question is asked we'll look at each other and go "aaah" but we view progress as this becomes <chwnk> this which in turn <chwnk> morphs into this like a pokemon turning level 16 the metamorphosis occurs this one isn't a chicken this one is that isn't how this works in the many millions of years it takes for this version to become this version so many millions exist in the middle this isn't mk. I -> mk. II in reality there were innumerable different forms between the two it was less a progress of incremental forms and more like a Hollywood-LSD mesh of 'bleeeeurgh' morphing onwards through millions and millions of years and that's fun bleeeeeurgh so why do we decide that this one is not a chicken and that this one is I don't know the details I'm not a scientist and anyway neither of them are chickens they're my hands <buk buk buk buk> I'm just a bit disappointed that I didn't get more of an evolutionary education at school although to be fair a lot of that responsibility may lay with my class it might be our fault one time we were in a biology classroom and we were meant to be learning about osmosis now to do this we had potatoes and we were meant to be taking samples from them to see how water passed through them and instead of doing this we threw them across the room at each other we were the top set of triple science we were 28 years old and we were also the teachers and the potato was my mother-in-law Anyway now you know that the egg came first maybe that's why the chicken crossed the road Ffarwel! <buk buk buk buk>
