pistonbroke Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Fascinating question , but apart from the fact that man would look plain stupid without 'em , the official explanation is even more fascinating according to Wicki Because biologically men and women are a lot more similar than we think. All mammals start out their embryonic development as females. As the body develops, the DNA determines what hormones are produced in what ratios and that determines whether or not the generic gonads turn in to testes or into ovaries. Whether or not that vaginal opening and clitoris stays one or if it seals up and turns into a penis. The Clitoris and the head of the Penis are basically the same thing. So getting back to nipples, it's the same thing. It's a left over sign of the male's body starting off as a female. And as a further note, men and women have both testosterone and estrogen. Body builders that use a lot of supplemental testosterone have their bodies produce more estrogen to maintain the hormonal balance. Once the testosterone stops, there is now an abundance of estrogen and so breasts will develop. Under the right conditions, they can lactate as well.
