The first chicken would have evolved in a similar way, but over a longer period of time. A bird similar, but not the same as a chicken existed long ago. As the habitat changed, the bird would have had to adapt through natural selection. Characteristics advantagous to survival would have incrementally become dominant until the bird we now know as a chicken formed.

as a biologist..i totalllllllllllllly agree with steven
