  Do you have a Darwin's tubercle?



Darwin's tubercle is a congenital ear condition which often presents as a thickening on the helix at the junction of the upper and middle thirds. The feature is present in approximately 10.4% of the population.

Darwin regarded this variation as a remnant of the pointed ears of some arthropods.

I think so. It definitely gets a little thicker, but it's hard to tell if it's really exactly what you're describing. It's more pronounced on my left ear than on my right.

I don't know what a helix at the junction of the upper and middle thirds means.

Really only 10.4% of the population? I thought everyone had them, or nearly everyone.

I've been meaning to look at my ears more closely ever since I saw this survey in qualification.

I'm going now to the mirror...

OMG, I think I have one on my left ear. I never even noticed. If it is one, it's a tiny one.

I don't think I do. I don't have a mirror anywhere around me at the moment.

No, I have the opposite; thicker on top and narrower in that spot. Then it's kind of medium all the way down from there. Both ears are the same.

As far as Darwin noted...They are the largest phylum in the Animal Kingdom with more than a million described species making up more than 80% of all described living species, according to wiki, so...good one Dar...
My dial up is too slow, and the picture won't show...
alas, alas, I don't know.
