Women typically have two breasts due to evolutionary adaptations related to the number of offspring they usually bear. In mammals, the number of nipples generally corresponds to the average litter size, ensuring that each young one can nurse effectively. For example, a mouse may have 12 young and thus has 24 nipples, while a fox usually has four to six pups and possesses eight nipples.

In humans, since women generally give birth to one child at a time, they have two breasts. However, there are exceptions in both humans and animals. For instance, cows typically have four nipples but often give birth to only one calf; the reason for this discrepancy is not fully understood.

During early development in embryos, all humans initially form similarly regardless of sex. It is only after about seven weeks of pregnancy that distinct sexual characteristics develop. This means that both males and females start with breast tissue before their bodies differentiate into male or female forms.

This understanding sheds light on why men do not develop functional breasts but may still have nipple buds as remnants from early development stages.
