male nipples are developmental vestiges, the male condition is derived from response to embryonic testosterone, and is a developmental variation from default.

early stage embryos of both sexes are not easily distinguishable by genitalia, they look morphologically similar. later developmental events culminate in morphological rearrangement to male form.
