basically like. why do women just have breasts all the time when to my knowledge the only purpose of them is to feed children. why don’t they go away like other mammals’ when you haven’t had a child.

Probably related to hidden estrus.

A likely reason for both being to keep men around so they can protect the woman from bears and other wild animals. Look up the wiki for other hypotheses.

Of course, to get a sure answer we’d have to ask the alien astronauts that Intelligently Designed us (and if nobody did, we’ll just have to keep on guessing).
