In the early stages of life from conception until about 14 weeks, all human fetuses look the same, regardless of gender. At the tender age of 14 weeks post-fertilization , genetically-male fetuses begin to produce male hormones including testosterone. These hormones turn the androgynous fetus into a bouncing baby boy.
By 14 weeks, when the hormones turn on, the nipples have already formed. So, while our male fetus goes on to become a baby boy, he keeps his nipples, reminding all of us that people, male and female, started off the same way.

-Nipples are especially sensitive and are a source of sexual stimuli, even for many men.
-Nipples are the result of an efficient plan of embryonic development. Human embryos contain characteristics of both sexes at first, because they all have basically the same genetic information. It is design economy. For example, in all human embryos, at first both the mullerian duct system (female) and the wolffian duct system (male) develop, because both sexes have the genetic information for these structures. Incidentally, this refutes the urban myth that human embryos "start out female."

In our DNA, the coding for breast tissue and functioning and nipples are no longer placed with or linked with sexual differentiation coding. In different words. nipples are HUMAN equipment, no longer woman equipment. The genes for breast tissue are handed down with the aid of the two mom and father. adult males CAN lactate. they have the very comparable kit for lactation as do women people. merely as estrogen and different hormones motives adjustments throughout a women folk physique at puberty while those hormones rather kick in, breast tissue enlarges. yet, enlarged or no longer, adult males CAN lactate with adequate stimulation, with some ailment circumstances and in many circumstances while hormones have been presented into the foodstuff chain, at the same time with in dairy products. Anthropologists have speculated approximately male breast functioning as being an evolutionary "lower back-up" device for feeding our species' youthful, yet there is not any info subsequently some distance that very early guy ever did breast feed. this is been appeared for, although, in study.

Being male or female is a 50/50 chance, so you have them just in case!
