Estonian radio station Kuku Radio is launching a new science segment on its programme 'Teadusminutid – Selge Pilt' ('Science Minutes – Clear Picture'), tackling one of humanity's most enduring philosophical puzzles: which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The segment is hosted by Indrek Vaheoja, with Indrek Ojamets serving as editor. Expert guest Marek Strandberg takes the role of answering questions put to him in the studio, bringing scientific insight to the timeless riddle.

The chicken-and-egg question has long captured the imagination of philosophers and scientists alike, touching on themes of evolutionary biology, causality, and the origins of life. While it may sound like a simple brainteaser, the question opens the door to deeper discussions about how species develop and how we understand the natural world.
