Conclusion The present study shows that the individualistic characteristics of the ear can provide very useful information for personal identification in forensic examinations. Background In the past, many morphological and metric features of the human body have been used for personal identification in forensic examinations.
Methodology Morphological characteristics of the study were evaluated in order to develop standards for the unique morphology of the ear in the population. Morphological characteristics of the ear The human ear can be considered as unique due its exclusive morphological structure and the organization of its various parts Fig.
Shape of the ear: Oval, oblique, rectangular, round and triangular Fig. A photograph showing the morphology and different parts of the ear. Full size image. Results The results of the present study show that every ear is unique in shape and size and with respect to various other morphological features.

Most of us learned in high school biology that genetics can sometimes be incredibly simple.
One trait—blue eyes, for example—results from recessive genes, but only if no dominant gene—the one to thank for brown eyes—shows up to take a stand. Parents each pass on two genes for eye color, or so your teacher probably told you. Depending on the combination, dominant genes can override any recessive genes to create their signature color. Sorry to break it to you, but very few traits actually work this way. Not even the classic example of eye color is actually so simple.
In a paper out this week in The American Journal of Human Genetics , scientists show that earlobes are no exception. This is another biology class favorite. Are your earlobes attached, or free hanging?
