Actually, this isn't exactly true. Humans are the only mammals who have permanently substantial breasts. Other mammals have very little distinction betwen male breasts and female breasts, except when the female is lactating. So, they are basically normally flat, and the breasts get larger only during lactation.
Humans, however, evolved to be more upright than any other species of mammal. As such, the primary focus of sexual attraction - the buttocks - was less visible. Anthropologists believe that this is why human breasts are always larger in females than males as opposed to only when lactating.
