Line 14: − − == Evolution of the Breast == − The disproportionately large size of human breasts, compared to those of most other [[mammal]]s, has given rise to a supposition that they some function in addition to nourishing young, such as providing a social or sexual signal. − − [[Evolution]]ists have suggested that the development of large breasts originally came about by men selecting mates whose breasts were slightly swollen to indicate their fertility; consequently large-breasted women were disproportionately popular as sexual partners, and their genes for large-breastedness were thus favoured for transmission to future generations.{{fact}} Today, many women undergo [[cosmetic surgery]] enhancing their breast size (and their imagined [[sex appeal]]) to unnatural levels.
I'm uncomfortable with this section ("Evolution of the breasts") Moving it to Talk for discussion.
Diseases of the breasts include [[mastitis]], [[cyst]]s and [[breast cancer]]. Regular [[Breast Exam]]inations are recommended for women. Additionally, many breasts are, or can be at times, extremely sensitive to pain and discomfort, and are highly susceptible to [[bruise|bruising]].
