Just sitting here watching a "Carols From Kings" video and, for some reason, fondling my "Ear Lobes" and it got me wondering what are they for!

I mean, aside from punching holes in them to hang some glitter, they would appear to have no use whatsoever but, despite millions of years of evolution, why are they still here?

There are a few useless body parts. The tubercles in top of our ears, the coccyx is not needed, nor is the appendix and I'm not entirely sure why we need body hair. It serves no insulating purpose.

No idea, but they certainly get lower.

They have one useful thing i know of. There are two types, danglers and attached. If both your parents have danglers and you haven't then i would get a DNA test, likewise if both parents have attached lobes and you haven't, DNA test Grin

I distinctly remember when I was a young pretty teenager, that mine were dead level with the bottom of my nose. Now they're half-way between the bottom of my nose and my mouth. ffs

Ear lobes may increase blood flow to the external ear so reducing the chances of frost-bite when out hunting.

Maybe it can protect the ear hole in certain cases ?

Surely people noticed when Harry and Paul used to be on how they showed how men's ears grow ever larger as they get older?

A diagonal crease on your ear lobe is not a good sign,infact you should be wary of heart problems,if not already got them.

kenny, this is the strangest thing!

Look in a mirror with your index fingers against the ear lobes.

Now move your head up and down.

You will see that your fingers, against the lobes, remain in the same position, but when looking down are higher against your face
and, when looking up are lower against your face.

So it's all about how you hold your head. Just lower it and your lobes will be back where you remember them!

Ear lobes grow continuously (a well known fact) so that if they have chunks taken out fighting a sabre toothed cat then they can rebuild themselves....I reckon.
