Why do womens chest grow in to breasts ?

I cant get my head around it why womens chests grow into breasts apart from the fact that they are used for milk. It seems like a part of their body has grown into something else. Men have flat chest but lets say, they dont grow another nose or something like that but apart from this to be used to distinguish the difference between men and women.

Update:

is it not some kind of mutation ?

    To feed their children, as the breasts contain the mammary glands that produce milk for infants. but the breasts do not normally produce milk until stimulated by hormones during pregnancy.

    The breasts indicate to men that the woman would be able to feed the children and that the race will continue through them. They are to encourage marriage.

    You need to except the fact that there are certain characteristics common

    to a man and woman....penis, mammaries, etc. It's how we're programmed.

    In prehistoric times, sex was very animalistic and "doggie style". As our culture evolved, so did sex. Men were no longer looking at *** all the time and needed something else attractive when having sex. Therefore, boobs evolved.

    Simply put, for sex.
