What is the wisdom behind the existence of nipples in men? Can you answer the thesis of the evolutionists that men’s nipples are “vestigial organs” because they have no function?

Dear Brother / Sister,

Nipples are present in the fetus before the gender forms. The state of the nipples is the same after birth in both boys and girls; the change starts with the secretion of different hormones in the stage of puberty. Nipples are places where there are a lot of neurons. The effect of nipples in sexual arousal in men is known.

Allah did not create anything purposelessly. That we do not know much about the issue does not mean that it is useless.

That the nipples are defined as vestigial organs remaining from the previous ancestors of man is a philosophical view; it is not scientific because the weakening of an organ because of lack of usage or the development of an organ because of usage is only a change in the cells of the body. It is not a change in the genes. Therefore, this change is not transferred to the offspring. For instance, the children of a man whose hand was cut off in a traffic accident or war are born with proper hands.
