An egg is technically a single cell. So, eggs came first as those were the first forms of life.

The egg came first. To the chickens disappointment and, who left to find a more satisfying partner.

I guess the tree branch needs to start somewhere, but why leave out amphibians?

Thats on the branch labeled traitors that leads to paying bills.

I love charts without units and labeled axes.

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 6 points 6 months ago

This isn’t a graph, it’s a phylogenetic tree. It doesn’t need units or labeled axes (and they wouldn’t make much sense anyways).

So you can't write dates/millenia on the "y-axis" (time axis)? Since when do turtles exist for example?

[-] chimasterflex@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

It would technically be wrong because the dates would have no appropriate scale. The difference between each node could be wildly different and also irrelevant to the solution space this virtual representation is trying to convey. Egg before chicken, check
