Why do males have nipples?

Kainantu

Males have nipples because of the common embryological plan followed during early embryo development. Embryos start out producing features common to male and female - an example of 'design economy.' Nipples are a part of this design economy. http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/446.asp In the earliest part of our embryonic development, we all start out much the same. Though the sex of an embryo is determined when sperm meets egg, the genital anatomy of males and females cannot be visually distinguished with the use of ultrasound until the 15th week of pregnancy. Males have nipples because they develop with the capacity to be female should their chromosomes dictate. But for the most part, nipples are on men's chests not for ornamentation, but because we all initially originate from the same kinds of tissues. http://my.webmd.com/question_and_answer/article/1687.51028 Sep 06 02, 1:28 AM
