Scientists believe that chickens evolved from the red jungle-fowl, which, in turn, evolved from the more bird-like dinosaurs. Birds seem to have originally been what is called "theropod dinosaurs," in fact, and fossil evidence does show a relationship between birds and these bird-like dinosaurs. It should be noted that certain species of birds also seem to be related to some ancient reptiles.

Evidence suggests that the jungle-fowls were bred into something resembling some of the current chicken breeds around the time humans were becoming agrigarians rather than just hunter-gatherers.
