The Adam's apple is just the visualization of the thyroid cartilage. It occurs in men because the larynx enlarges during puberty. This is also why a man's voice is lower than a woman's. If a boy is going through puberty and his larynx doesn't lengthen, or if it doesn't lengthen much, he may not develop a viable Adam's apple and his voice would remain higher than it would have otherwise.
