Why Do Men Have Nipples

There seems to be a logical explanation about why women have nipples - for babies. But why do men's bodies retain what appears to be redundant body parts? The Darwinian natural selection process would seem to dictate that male nipples really should not be there. So what's the deal? Why do men have nipples?

The answer is that as embryos men and women have similar tissues and body parts. If anything the embryo follows a 'female template'. That is why nipples are present in both sexes. It is the effect of the genes, the Y chromosome and the hormone testosterone that brings about the changes and masculinises the embryo. Testosterone promotes the growth of the penis and testicles. Because nipples are there before this process begins the nipples stay!

Nipples and breast tissue have no function as such except for perhaps protecting the heart and lungs from injury.

Male Breasts Can Produce Breast Milk and Get Breast Cancer
It is possible for men to produce breast milk.

This is because a certain amount of 'female type' hormones, estrogens are present in all men. If hormones become unbalanced because of disease or malfunction then breast tissue can grow (gynecomastia- abnormal enlargement of breasts) and men can produce milk.

Gynacomastia is more commonly seen in adolescence, a period in development when hormones fluctuate a lot. I is also seen in some men with liver disease and in alcoholics.

Men can get breast cancer as well as women.
