Why do males have nipples?

Question

Why do males have nipples?

Answer 1

It's left over from the womb - at a certain point we were just a foetus with an undetermined gender, and then a flood of hormones came along in uterus and told us what we were going to be. Nipples are a leftover from that time. Men do have mammary tissue, anyway. Just a tiny, tiny bit of it.

During conception, each fetus starts out with an X chromosome (from the mother) they will then receive either an X or Y chromosome from the father, determining their s*x. XX will be a female, and XY will be a male. Because each gender started with the same initial gene, some features will be similar, or the same. (ie, male nipples) It's crazy to think everyone was once a female. ; )  

Answer 2

imagine your chest without it............... see?

Answer 3

Why Not?

Answer 4

so your torso won't bore girls to death.

Answer 5

Nipples are formed before the s*x is determined

Answer 6

Because we are mammals and all mammals have nipples.  They are sensitive to touch so they serve a smaller purpose than females that have mammary glands that produce milk which develops along with the rest of the "sexual" organs during development when a zygote (un born baby) is developing into a fetus.

Answer 7

This has been asked before, several times.  It's part of the basic mammalian body plan.
