Subject: RE: BS: Every Wonder?
At the risk of pissing off any homophobe who might be lurking, the reason that males of every mammalian species has nipples is simply because all primate eggs start out female. Even after they are fertilized, they continue as female until the male hormone kicks in. When that happens, the embryo becomes male, and, if that doesn't happen, it continues to develope as female.
