“THE CHICKEN”
.
*the red junglefowl (gallus gallus) is a tropical member of the family ‘phasianidae’*
.
(it is the primary progenitor of the domestic chicken (though genetic evidence strongly suggests some past hybridization with the grey junglefowl as well))
(the ‘red junglefowl’ was first domesticated at least 5 thousand years ago in ‘asia’)
.
(since then it has spread around the world, and the domestic form is kept globally as a very productive food source of both ‘meat’ + ‘eggs’)
