Why do Men have Nipples?

[Scrapster]

It doesn't seem like they serve any evolutionary purpose. Anyone know why?

To scare little children.

Why are you here? You don't seem to serve any purpose.

And I THINK this may have been posted before..let's do a search.

EDIT: D'oh, no find..maybe someone else asked me that in real life.

well we all start out as female then us males develop into males. so I guess they just stay there but never develop.

I think the nipples develop in the embryo before gender is decided.

 

[dennilfloss]

Because we all start our foetal development as female embryos. The female form is the primordial form and it becomes modified later to produce males. Male nipples can become activated sometimes. There have been instances of fathers lactating after their wife had died, leaving them alone with a baby who needed feeding. This can also be induced by hormonal treatments.

For the same reason women have a clitoris.

yup we all start out the same.. not sure you could call it starting out female. Read about development sometime.. stuff like the labia minor of a woman is analogous to the penis shaft. the labia major is analogous to the nutsack well the clitorus and penis head are obvious.. and ugh i can't remember much else. Hope i didn't mix up the major and minor hehe Anyhow by analogous i mean they start off the same and change from there. This kinda info is really useful for sex change sstuff

so it kinda makes sense with the nipples eh?

so the next time you see a labia major, think omg, thats like my nutsack
