[her209]

Why are we only limited to two?

Because we're primates

How many babies do you think women have per amount of time babies nurse?

no they are not. fish lay eggs. whales have live births and nurse their young. also, the don't have gills, scales, and a ton of other features which would disqualify them as fish.

But neither do the females.


The reason why males have nipples is because when we're conceived, we're females until the 2nd month, when the Y-chromosome of the males start kicking in and producing hormones that makes us males.

even though i dont believe in human evolution cuase i believe that God created Earth and us, but according to evolution the traits are devolped cuase its more desired trait, if the trait is more desired then the desired trait would be domonite over the undesired trait.

That's nature's way of teasing us, saying "what could've been".

Some more info on "why do men have nipples" which also makes mention of nipple-less mammals

And a little blurb on "How baby whales suckle."

I think this is an even dumber response than my "whales are fish" mockery.

Yeah but i don't think that female dolphins and whales have nipples either.

My cousin has ectodermal displasia so he was born without sweat glands or nipples.

all male mammels have nipples....including whales, (even the platipus does, though the scientists can't make up thier mind if they are actually mammels) go ask a zooligist if you don't believe me, I had asked the same question when I was a teenager, and even did a science paper on it.....the teacher thought I was some strange pervert at the time though LOL
