That is an interesting article. It does explain that eggs came first. But it doesn't explain the bridge between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction, namely, eggs and seeds.


The evolutionary diversion leading to plants and animals happened a long time ago. There is no subsequent link between the two - natural selection favored those changes that provided a survival benefit given the environmental circumstances. You can look to compare similarities or differences between the two but there is no link between them, apart from a common source a long time ago.

You misunderstand again.
How did plants "evolve" from asexual reproduction to seeding? Species at the time of said change is irrelevant.
How did animals "evolve" from asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction via eggs? Species at the time of said change is irrelevant.


You"ll have to research that yourself but that change happened a long time ago with organisms that aren't around today and would be otherwise unrecognisable to us. My point being that using a modern day chicken to peruse variations of that magnitude is not applcable.

I think that you are looking for a magical "hey presto" answer but it's likely more complicated than that. Mutations happen quickly but sometimes there needs to be a series of successful mutations before a characteristic forms, more so with a more complex organism. If I recall correctlysomething like 99% of the species that ever evolved are extinct, due to ongoing changes, competition etc. Evolution is still ongoing.

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.

Well?
