Why do some men have a more pronounced Adam's apple than others?

Some men have no visible Adam's apple, while other men have a very large, prominent one. The difference has to do with genes. In general, but not always, a larger Adam's apple results in a deeper voice. The apparent size of the Adam's apple can also relate to how thin or fat a man is.

∙ 12y agobecause Adam, the first man on earth, had an abnormally large Adam's apple and so he passed it on to future generations which is why the Adam's apple in today's day in age is larger on men than women.
Because men have lower voices than women do their Adam's apple sticks out more.

That's the way humans are. It makes mens voices deeper.

Why is the larynx called Adam's apple?
The human larynx rests in a frame of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscles. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the lump at the front of the neck, known as the laryngeal prominence or more commonly as the Adam's apple. Regarding the etymology of the term "Adam's apple", Webster's 1913 dictionary states that the term "… is so called from a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit, (an apple) sticking in the throat of our first parent." Laryngeal prominence The larynx grows during puberty in males much more than in females, and as a result the Adam's apple is typically more prominent in adult men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. This growth of the larynx is also the reason for the voice cracking in teenage boys. The reason for the Adam's apple being more prominent in males is that the two laminae of the cartilage meet at an angle of 90° in males but that angle is 120° in females. For some transwomen, the Adam's apple remains more prominent than desired, and this is sometimes remedied by a chondrolaryngoplasty (trachea shave), a type of plastic surgery to reduce the size of the Adam's apple.
