Apocrine glands are the small coiled glands in human skin that we call sweat glands However they are not 'true' sweat glands as seen in the majority of animals but they are excretory glands that regulate fluid and mineral excretions. Other animals with apocrine glands functioning in the same manner as in human skin tend to have a common evolutionary past; they all lived in water for extended periods of time. Examples and further fun information can be researched using books such as the Descent of Woman by Elaine Morgan.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Morgan_%28writer%29
