Talk:Earlobe

message: Vestigial organs? - the page cited  seems to suggest the earlobe may be a vestigium of the tragus which some sea animals use to close the ear canal, but it doesn't say it explicitly. Are there any other, clearer references? Good article, otherwise. Adambrowne666 11:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember reading about some researchers placing microphones inside ear-shaped moulds to record sounds from different directions. Turns out the shape of the ear modulates the perceived sounds, giving people a very accurate picture of where a sound came from in space (And if you make the same transformations on existing recordings, you can make it seem like the sound is moving in 3-D).
Perhaps they're not for identifying the direction of a sound's source, but for making certain sounds easier to pick out (such as a human voice). This is original research at this point, but might earlobes help with something like this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.166.237.55 (talk) 22:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I have one attached and one free, so ill assume this makes me some sort of genetic freak? Or when I was younger and had my ears pined back the doctor cut one of my ear lobes off?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.179.231 (talk) 03:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Can earlobes conduct heat? My father taught me to grab my earlobes if I burned my fingers - when you do this the heat appears to cool in your fingers as your earlobes warm. Any science behind this?

message: It has been known for some time that free/attached earlobes are not a complete dominance/recessive one gene, two allele situation. The literature is cited and summarized here:

message: Supposedly, it's not just any ear crease that predicts heart disease, it's a specific kind of crease that runs diagonally from the bottom of the ear opening to the ear's lower tip.

message: I propose that Earlobe type be merged in to Earlobe.  The content in the Earlobe type article largely duplicates that of Earlobe, and I think it can easily be explained in the context of Earlobe without causing any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

replies: text: Yes. I support it, they should be merged, but you should ask somewhere people read, here it doesn't seem the case.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:482A:65C8:73E9:A71B (talk) 06:50, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Please tell people it's not the place to ask questions or to discuss if they have attached or non attached earlobes. It's a place to improve the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:482A:65C8:73E9:A71B (talk) 06:49, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
