Purpose and Function of

Human beings are structured at the highest level; this applies commonly to both sexes. The breasts (referred to as 'Mammen') are of particular importance to women for several necessary reasons: partly due to their proximity to the heart which provides warmth through the circulation of blood; partly for their enhancement of beauty. They are reasons why some are displayed partially nude. Thirdly, this area is suited for nursing children. Children can be comfortably laid in the mother's arms, and with hands and eyes easily managed and observed in various ways, whether sitting, standing, or moving.

Among animals, no species have their udders or breasts situated as high as in humans, except for apes; because they, like humans, hold their young with their forelimbs or 'arms' (and I might say, nothing resembles a human more closely than an ape, a boor, or a parrot) to the breast. The 'Mammen' are two in number, so if one were damaged, the other could still serve; also, to ensure the symmetry and balance of this part of the body; since just one would stand in the middle; similar to the nose, chin, and private parts that are single in number, and not on the side but right in the center.

Women’s breasts are round in shape and resemble a half-sphere; and so they are prized for their beauty. Sometimes, especially in nursing women, they tend to hang downward due to the weight of the milk. They are generally larger in women.

Translation Notes:

- The term 'Mammen' refers specifically to breasts, with particular historical connotations related to their beauty and function.

- The comparison to 'apes' emphasizes anatomical similarities in nursing behaviors.
