......that men have nipples?

Because we all start off the same its only the levels of estrogen and oestrogen that we get in the womb that make us male and female..or something like that

I thought the sex was determined at the moment of conception?

why is it that women can never have enough handbags or shoes  ???

I don't understand the fascination with handbags myself, shoes are a different story entirely :D

They call it accessorising. I think its just that no matter how fat you get - you can still enjoy a pair of shoes or a hand bag.

What your sex will be is determined at the moment of conception. That doesn't mean that sexual dimorphism kicks in straight away.

...........you always yawn when someone else beside you yawns???

It is possible that yawns are contagious because at one time in evolutionary history, the yawn served to coordinate the social behavior of a group of animals. When one member of the group yawned to signal an event, all the other members of the group also yawned. Yawns may still be contagious these days because of a leftover response (a "vestigial" response) that is not used anymore.

....that evolution is used to explain everything about our behaviour we cannot explain?

Why is it that, considering the above explanation I don't go around picking fleas (imaginary or otherwise) from peoples backs in a show of affection.

We all start out as females, if there is a y chromosome present in the foetus then it will produce testosterone and limit the growth of the breasts.  if there is no y chromosome then the foetus can continue to develop unrestricted

Why would you drink a can in a pub? I can never understand people that do that....
