Today, I've been digging a little deeper into nucleosynthesis, and looking at exactly how each element was thought to have formed in the Big Bang. Using this information
from Wikipedia's page on nucleosynthesis, I drew the following diagram. Where a neutron or proton is produced, it is written by the side of the fusion lines. The short star pattern of lines is gamma radiation. Where a proton or neutron is used in the reaction, it is joined by a line.
As to the question posed in the diagram, this post discusses it but doesn't seem to come to any conclusion.
