@rookie54 saidI had no idea! So the boar will predict how many teats each of his offspring will have thus predicting how many young his female offspring will be able feed 😮
i wrote a rhyme about nipples
for forum points to score
ultimately nobody gave a dang
it was as useless as tits onna boar

@eye-of-horus-42 saidEasy peasy. Basic biology. The default human fetus is female. If a certain thing does not happen in the womb, it is born female, with nipples. If that certain thing does happen, it changes and is born male, but the nipples were there already and there they stay.
Why humans males have nipples?
quote:
In the absence of testosterone and anti-Mullerian Hormone, the primitive female anatomy matures, and the male structures, that require testosterone to survive, starts to shrivel. Therefore, by default, a fetus will develop as a female unless genes from the Y chromosome activate the correct signaling pathways to start male reproductive development.

@eye-of-horus-42 saidNo, She didn't.
@moonbus Correct, therefore according to religion, god made a "boo,boo" mistake!
@moonbus saidVery interesting, isn’t Nature amazing that it gets such complex structures perfect so often.

@Drewnogal saidMales are biologically redundant. In some lizard species, a single female can populate a locality asexually. After a few males hatch, the lizards populate sexually, mixing up the gene pool. In no species, can males alone reproduce. Truly amazing.

@moonbus saidAha. Like cockpit instruments…”just in case”.🤔😁

@moonbus saidNature's way of keeping the balance - males tend to be dominant and aggressive.

@Great-Big-Stees saidThe function of sexuality, and therefore of males, is to stir up the gene pool, which would otherwise consist entirely of clones of females. Exact duplicates (clones) are more prone to fail if environmental factors change, which they will, than diverse specimens. This is the explanation why KellyJay is wrong when he claims there is error checking going inside cells. If there were error checking going on, there would be no mutations and no diversity; there would be only exact copies.

@moonbus saidOne of my mantras is, “How dull life would be if we were all the same”.👍

@Torunn saidThat's a loaded description. Males exhibit a certain physical vitality, which, in certain social contexts, is called sportsmanship or a will-to-win, and in other contexts, football hooliganism or aggression. It just depends on how civilized they are.

@Great-Big-Stees saidYup. We'd all be sponges, otherwise.

@Great-Big-Stees saidThat is one extreme, and then there are others. I would imagine that men and women should be getting more similar as we live similar lives, sharing similar responsibilities e.g. family duties.
