When you are in the womb until a few weeks after fertilisation the embryo is generally speaking female. The Nipples begin to form, as do breast buds and the reproductive glands are in the abdomen. As the hormone system comes online, testosterone is released in males and they become masculine.

The testes move down along the inguinal canal and sit is a pouch - the scrotum - which would have been the labia if the embryo was female.

But by this stage the nipples were already formed and so you end up with them. The technical term is "vestigial" meaning had a role in development but no longer used.
