Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Because every fetus starts out as female. Males are just modified before birth using the female template.

I remember my highschool biology teacher couldn't answer this for us, even after he took a few days to research it. Guess who told me....Bill Nye!!

That is strange, considering that the male was created first....

They had a function at one point in our exsistance. There's actually a few stories out there about men nursing their babies. Here's a Wikipedia link about male lactation : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation

They still serve function as a secondary sexual characteristic

Because males and females are merely modifications of the same basic template. Hormones control development of sex organs while still in utero.

Nope. After a few days he gave us an answer something like; The nipples contain a special sweat gland the gets rid of something important..about as much as I remember. Of course this same guy also told us that evolution is just a way to explain god's work, and that it's really all the same theory.

Wish Bill Nye would have taught at my high school.

This is true. Of the other sex organs, a clitoris and penis started off the same, testicles and ovaries the same way.
It is possible to modify some of this as an adult. In a female to male sex change they give a woman so much male hormones that her clitoris grows into a small penis. In a male to female sex change they give a man so much female hormones that their breasts swell and they cant get an erection.
google it and you will find some really wierd looking shit, and alot of tranny porn, so do so at your own risk.
It's pretty freaky shit if you think about it. One little change when you were conceived and you could have been born the oposite sex.

I prefer a TENS unit or better yet, modified stereo. ;p

I just installed a male 120v plug onto my penis. The sex with a wall outlet is shockingly good.

I realize your kidding, but electrical sexual stimulation is the closest I have ever come to having a supernatural experience. ;p It's one of the only ways a male can have true spontaneous multiple orgasms, and those orgasms can last (no shit) 5 minutes or more.

For the eyes, duh.

Hmm i believe that is the real question at hand here

Bill Nye, The Science Guy! Ahhhh, memories.
haha@ "...considering that the male was created first...."

Because Thousands of years ago they had a function maybe? why do you have finger nails and not just skin stubs... cause at one point they had more of a purpose than to just be cut and painted

i may have learned this and forgot, but for now i will say i learned something new today.

Nails still serve many purposes other than decoration. Your fingers are much more durable, sturdy, useful tools with nails than without. Even in the contemporary world, this contributes to survival and reproductive success. Selection, natural or not, is always in play.

nipples? lol weeeelll....primitive man was built for survival. if a female couldnt produce milk to feed growing babies, hormones would create a lactic period for males of the same pheramonal type-set. this evolutionary anomaly is not prevalent in todays society. as milk is freely attainable. (tee hee)
