Which came first, the cow or the udder? (Diptych)

 

Warning! The concept is based on many facts, scientific articles and detailed research on evolution. For information about risks, precautions and side effects, ask your sculptor or psychiatrist. The eternal question: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?". I would like to ask another question. Which came first, the cow or the udder? About 4.4 billion years ago, a cosmic mass fell on Earth. That was the Great Udder, the mother of all teats that nourished all mankind. Over time, single-celled organisms latched onto the teats and slowly sucked. It was like that for years until the first, more complex forms of life developed. These were the two sister cows depicted in this diptych. They looked like yin and yang. They created the world as we know it today and died out. How do I know anything about the way they looked, you might ask? I retrieved these figures from fossil findings, the DNA and the digital reconstruction. Cast in bronze and aluminum like this one, they are a direct representation of our foremothers. Now you know for sure that the udder came first.
