>Who on earth knows why some areolas are large and others are small? I've >seen some ethnic differences. KD please help us out here! Probably just one of the many body parts that vary from person to person within geographic populations and also vary from one part of the world to another. Like ear shape and size, whether you have hair on your knuckles, amount of body hair, etc. Not necessarily any adaptive or functional significance to the variation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
