The Mystery of Male Nipples: A Biological Explanation

Why Do Men Have Nipples? A Simple Explanation Many people wonder why men have nipples, given their lack of milk production. The answer lies in the developmental biology of the human embryo. According to a recent video by SWR3, in the early stages of pregnancy, before the embryo differentiates into male or female, nipples develop. This is a fascinating fact, often overlooked in basic biology. The video's presenter explains that nipple formation occurs before the genetic factors determining sex fully manifest. Thus, even though genetic males will not use their nipples for lactation, they retain them as a remnant of embryonic development. This simple explanation clarifies a common misconception. The video's popularity underscores the public's interest in understanding basic biological processes. The video's presenter states, "The breast doesn't change until after the seventh week of pregnancy."
