Which came first: Brain or Mind?

Recently a colleague and I were discussing the various theories about the brain versus the mind. It reminded me of the old chicken or the egg question. Which came first, the brain or the mind? Does the brain create the mind or does the mind create the brain? Is the mind an organ of the brain much as the stomach is an organ of the digestive system? There will likely never be 100% consensus, seeing as every brain on the planet is different. Consensus however is leading toward the belief that the brain begins to develop in utero first and then creates the mind. What is amazing is that the mind then can change and direct the brain that created it! I like the ‘vehicle-traffic metaphor’ to describe that phenomenon. Vehicles create traffic. Once created, the vehicles can be hampered or impeded by the traffic. Something similar likely can happen in the brain.
