Why do men have nipples?

Why do men have nipples?

I pose these questions to everyone and especially too our resident man of scientifical thought.

Why do/did and possibly “why will men have nipples”? Was there a time in the evolutionary chain when man nursed? Or perhaps will there be a time in the future all of our women will be recalled for inspection by the visitors and we will be left with the late night feedings? My nipples are sore just thinking about this.

Also another question to everyone and especially aimed at myself – mister spiritually designed being. Why did God create foreskin just to advise us to lop it off? Evolution has no answer either as our foreskinned fathers haven’t been successful in selected. There just aren’t enough uncircumcised locker room chastisment related deaths to explain this on that fence either.

What gives?

As to the motivation for this post. I just got scared that this blog was getting too safe for consumption.

Onward with the big questions.

"Why do some snakes carry the rudiments of tiny legs. Why do certain species of flightless beeles have wings that never open? Whales posess a teeny pelvis, despite having no legs. Darwin raised all these question, and answered them in "the Origin of Species". Vestigial structures stand as remnants of the evolutionary history of a lineage. " NG 11/04

dna steps up to the plate, takes a swing, and hits a solid line drive to left center.

Mac, and I believe that Nadar has nipples too, though don't take my word for it, do your research!

I blog with smart people so that I don't have to do research.

This thread could have turned into one of those lame Seinfeld-aping conversations that happen too often in real life: "Nipples on men? What's the deal with that? I mean, really, what's the story on male nipples?"

I'm quite grateful we didn't go down that path. Thank you all very much.

The Straight Dope takes a shot at an answer to the question

And Salon.com weighs in as well.

Weird - my husband and I were just talking about this, but we didn't come up with anything.
