Earlobes

[Æmeric]

Is there any racial or ethnic significance to either having attached or detached earlobes? And what kind do you have?

Mine are attached. I meant to make the poll public but forgot to check that option.:smash:

I feel so superior right now.:clap:

Someone asked me if detached earlobes were a sign of Silvid ancestry. I have no idea but based on the responses to the poll at Skadi I would say no.

[TheGreatest]

I noticed that Askh Jews more often have hanging and fleshy-looking earlobes.

You have inbetweenies like my mum. Start the poll again and make it public!

Strangely enough, I've been thinking about this yesterday.

I'm not sure what mine are either. Can anyone tell perhaps from the pic?

I think you forgot to attach them? I'd like to gaze upon your superiority please. ;)

I protest. I want be superior. How can you see that?

No idea, I have the same type as Absinthe.

I have no ear pics, you'll have to take my word for it.:D

Absinthe: Not sure, I'm leaning towards attached.

Loki: Attached.

Loki: Attached.

Yay! :victory0:

Maybe this pic will make it easier.

The upper ear is detached & the lower attached. The lower has that web of flesh holding the earlobe to the side of the face.

[Atlas]

My earlobes are attached... Am I the master-race ? :D I think it looks better anyway.

[Vulpix]

Detached :coffee:.

[Æmeric]

Argh! When I was asked about earlobes yesterday I checked out my left ear which is attached. But my wife just pointed out to me that my right ear hangs a little lower the the left. She's right because the right one is detached! I'm some kind of genetic freak.:sad_shakefist:

[Rudy]

Small detached ears here.

[Oresai]

Also small detached, (been told I have pretty little ears too :) )
Sorry I have no written stats to back this, but in Orkney, most natives have attached earlobes.
When I was a peedie bairn ( a little kid) I wanted ears like Spock in Star Trek. Ok, I was a strange bairn.....

[Oresai]

P.S...it`s what`s between the ears which makes us superior. ;)

Are the Orkneymen Viking?

My adopted mum has attached earlobes and she is a Yorkshire Viking type.

However, there are two types of attached earlobe, one which looks rather stretched and another which looks a little more graceful. This is presumably dependent upon another genetic factor.

She resented them because she was unable to wear clip-on earings.

[Vulpix]

The really attached ones are freaky :eek:!

I dislike the look of human ears anyway :D.

[Hrolf Kraki]

Mine are attached. Perhaps I do have some Scandinavian blood in me. :D

[Oresai]

How else do you explain a world where bimbos like Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton & Pamela Anderson beome celebrities & make millions of $. I`m living in an alternate reality, having become accidentally trapped here a long time ago, shortly after childhood, until when life was fairly simple....decency, self respect and responsibility, and character mattered more than looks, the Thatcher years hadn`t yet happened to Scotland, Santa did deliver to good little girls, and the permissive society was only a dim dark fairytale in the crofting communities of Sutherland. :)

One day, I`ll go back, and Paris Hilton will only be the Barbie doll she resembles, whilst Pamela Anderson will be keeping a small ship afloat on the sea somewhere as balast....


Are the Orkneymen Viking?
A tv programme did a genetic survey of Orkney men a couple of years ago and found surprisingly little Scandinavian DNA in the native population, so I can`t explain it.
I think, speaking for myself, even if I didn`t have Swedish blood in me, I may have had Norse as there was a great deal of Norse settlement in Sutherland (named by them too, of course).
Perhaps related, I do have the beginnings of Dupuytren`s Contracture which is linked to Scandinavian genetics.
But no funny ears. :p :D

[Allenson]

Mine are attached. I don't know the racial implications, if any, of earlobe status.

Here's a look: ;)

[Beorn]

Æmeric knows what my Father told me to do around people with attached earlobes.;)
I'm starting to panic that I am surrounded by so many!!!! :eek:

[Angharad]

As I recall Asians have the highest rates of attached lobes. Dangly types are sterotypically African.

So, perhaps Æmeric with one free and one detached is more European?

Yeah that's why there's a stereotype saying you can't trust someone with an attached earlobe, it's a sign of Jewry.

[Vargtand]

In between those two example, not completely attached not detatched completely, Guess I am just half great either way :P

[Heimmacht]

Detached, but I cheated a little :D.

Both variants of earlobes can be observed among chimpanzees and other primates too by the way - I posted some examples of ear forms.

If its about progressive or primitive/atavistic traits, its rather about other morphological details by the way, which are of no real significance though other than aesthetic though.

Very small ears with attached lobes seem to be somewhat more common among strongly Negrid variants, Sudanids in particular:

http://www.africarte.it/foto-storiche/Sudan%20Occidentale.JPG
http://www.africarte.it/foto-storiche/Scarificazione.JPG

But in the greater Negroid spectrum all kinds of earforms, sizes and earlobes seem to be present as in other races, like can see in this interesting historical photographs:
http://www.africarte.it/foto-storiche/foto_storiche.htm

We can talk about frequencies in these case only though, as its the case with larger ears among all Taurids, Armenids in particular - with longer earlobes as well.

One can see the variation among rather Armenoid individuals even:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/anthropology/Caucasoid/Taurian/Armenoid/ArmenoidArmeniansplate42.jpg

Ariel Sharon, who is strongly Armenid, has rather medium sized ears with attached earlobes:
http://www.whodidit.org/new-sharon.jpg

Therefore the value of this trait in a typological sense, at least inside of the Eurasian spectrum (Europid and Mongoloid) seems to be very limited.

http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedimages/mons/newsite/Chinese%20New%20Year%2007-3.jpg

The constitutional and age type mostly influences the size of the ear too.

Mine are detached by the way.

[SPQR]

Interesting thread. I never thought about how earlobes can differ...

I'm pretty inbetween but i'm going to go with detached.

[mymy]

Earlobes average about 2 cm long, and elongate slightly with age.[2] Whether the earlobe is free or attached is a classic example of a simple genetic dominance relationship[dubious – discuss]; freely hanging earlobes are the dominant allele and attached earlobes are recessive. Therefore, a person whose genes contain one allele for free earlobes and one for attached lobes will display the freely hanging lobe trait. It is a common misconception that this implies a precise 3-to-1 ratio between free and attached lobes in the human population. Such a ratio would require that the allele frequency for free lobes were precisely 50%, which there is no reason to assume. The frequency of attached earlobes among Japanese subjects is 67.1%, and in Chinese it is 64.3%

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlobe

What kind is do you have and in what pars of Europe certain kind of earlobes can be found? Are attached earlobes European trait or not?

Oh, thanks, I didnt see it. In that case, moderators can close this thread.

[mymy]

Attached and small earlobes and not really big ears, so they make ears in position close to head and hard to notice. Was always curious about it because I didn't see much people with this form.

I never heard that something like Slavic ear exist, I know majority of people have free and some have attached, but attached is less common... That's why some people say that attached looks freaky and scary. I read that among Asians attached are more common.
Lol, thats why i believed when someone told me i look half Japanese :D

I found this.... uhm...


The recently completed MURG study shows that those with recessive attached earlobes are twice as likely than their free-lobed counterparts to commit acts of anti-social, sociopathic, or criminal behavior.

Thats pretty much the same as was said about people with "wide faces".

So, if you ever encounter a person with attached earlobs AND a wide face... be carefull LOL ;)

I have attached earlobes and a wide face too :) Jack the Ripper

it looks more attached than detached so there is no need for the Van Gogh "move" :)

Her ears are nothing compared to my ex Best Friend's....also Ashkenazi. She had very fleshy, free-hanging earlobes. They were ugly....but not near as ugly as her mouth and teeth were.

I would not be so harsh with her had she not been a backstabbing bitch who fucked her friends' boyfriends or husbands behind their back.....and I was not exempt from that treatment. (It was a boyfriend...NOT my husband lol).

She was a filthy slutbag in every sense of the word:mad:

[Mark]

Attached.

[Fortis in Arduis]

Earlobes come in a range from free to attached:


Earlobes average about 2 cm long, and elongate slightly with age. Although the "free" vs. "attached" appearance of earlobes is often presented as an example of a simple "one gene - two alleles" Mendelian trait in humans, several studies suggest that the story is not that simple. If one is to observe a number of people, it indeed reveals that earlobes do not all fall neatly into either the "free" or the "attached" categories; there is a continuous range from one extreme to the other, suggesting the influence of several genes.

I have free wobbly earlobes, which sprout the very occasional black hair. :eek:

[Manifest Destiny]

Mine are attached, which is good. I'll have enough drooping, sagging body parts when I get old. At least my earlobe will be youthful.

[Damião de Góis]

In between but leaning more towards free. They don't look like the ones on the first post though:

Attached ear certainly is a nordic trait,very common in scandinavia and northwestern europe. According to most anthropologists,ancient elephants(mammoth)were nordic,after the migration(they migrated to south during last glacial maximum),they became dark,hairless so they adapted to africa climate.
