Why do men have nipples?  There's a reason that women have them, but why men?

Initially, the human foetus developps the same way whether it's male or female. Around the 7 week, the sexual organs start to differenciate, but before that, and for almost 2 month, we are virtually identical.

It's only at the 7th month in utero that the male gonads descend from the abdomen to reach the scrotum where they start producing testosterone that alters the male physical traits to make them the muscle machines that we love...

And in woman, our beloved hormones take over the task of making us baby machines, gradually but slowly padding us with fat so that we can overcome the eventual months of starvation of we are gravid... And since that doesn't happen much nowadays, we don't have a choice but to hire a personnal trainer to fight off evolution!!!!!!!!!

Ok, this is my compound knowledge of biology and anthropology mixed with ethology, I love it, I find when you know these 3, everything is so common sense.... but sadly, it's much like that padding, I don't get to use it much, not here at least.... Oh well, you never know, one day maybe I'll start a Human Biology and History trend in here...


P.S.: I hope you all know, but just in case someone is wondering what's the link with the clitoris, it is the undevelopped version of the penis....
