    "Both men and women have nipples because in early stages of fetal development, an unborn child is effectively sexless. Nipples are present in both males and females; it is only in a later stage of fetal development that testosterone causes sex differentiation in a fetus."

    this because at the beginning of the growth of the foetus in the wombfor both males and females the same tissues(even the genitals) have the same origin it then differentiates into male and female under the influnce of the hormones.if men get enough female hormones, they may develop breasts.
