Actually, the reason men have nipples is because both males and females must carry enough DNA to reproduce humans of both genders. So both males and females have the stem cells needed for growing breasts. But since only females have ovaries, generally only maturing and adult females produce enough estrogen to cause their breasts to grow. Males can on occasion develop fully-mature breasts, and that's usually due to a hormone imbalance or due to medication.

How many nipples can you have?

Humans typically have two nipples, but variations can occur due to genetic factors, such as supernumerary nipples, which can result in individuals having more than two. In rare cases, some people may have additional nipples or variations depending on their genetic makeup. Animals also exhibit a wide range of nipple counts, often corresponding to the number of offspring they typically bear.

Why do some people have hairy nipples?

Humans are still evolving, and because of that, some people have traits that have mostly disappeared by now, such as thick hair all over their bodies. Many species of mammals have more than two nipples, and it is possible that at some earlier time, proto humans had more than two nipples. Because humans very rarely have multiple births, more that two nipples are not necessary, so we are evolving away from that trait. That is my personal opinion, and I can not back it up with any factual evidence, so don't take it as a fact.


Why don't some girls have nipples?

All humans, both male and female, have nipples. The only way a person will not have nipples is if they have been surgically removed. If someone should be born without nipples (either male or female) this is an abormality. Related link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipples
