About this listen
Whether it’s Easter or paying $9 per dozen, eggs are in the news. But what do we really know about these delicious breakfast orbs? How did they evolve? Why do they exist? Which came first: the chicken or the egg?
The more we thought about it, the more we realized that eggs are weird. Really weird. Think about it, most animals lay SOME kind of egg. Why did they all decide to go with that? Did they have a meeting about it? If so, why weren’t mammals invited?
To find out, we interviewed Dr. Ashley Ferguson, a palaeontologist who specializes in dinosaur nests and studies the evolution of eggs. Dr. Ferguson knows more about eggs than a breakfast chef and we were so lucky she was available to answer all our weird egg questions.
