How did the egg shape evolve? - An international team of scientists led by researchers at Harvard and Princeton universities, with colleagues in the UK, Israel and Singapore, took a quantitative approach to this question. Using methods and ideas from mathematics, physics and biology, they characterized the shape of eggs from about 1,400 species of birds and developed a model that explains how an egg’s membrane determines its shape. Using an evolutionary framework, the researchers found that the shape of an egg correlates with flight ability, suggesting that adaptations for flight may have been critical drivers of egg-shape variation in birds.

East Indian history indicates that wildfowl were domesticated as early as 3200 B.C. Egyptian, and Chinese records show that fowl were laying eggs for man in 1400 B.C. Europe has had domesticated hens since 600 B.C

The most widely consumed eggs are those of fowl, especially chickens

The earliest egg fossils come from Early Jurassic dinosaur nests found in South Africa. They are nearly 200 million years old. At 195 million years old, a clutch of seven Massospondylus eggs are the earliest known in the fossil record
