      I’m not top sure why we have earlobes as they don’t help you hear at all! They are left overs from when humans were descended from monkeys.
      What I do know about earlobes though is that some people have dangly ones, and some peoples stick straight to your head. This isn’t random – it comes from your parents so if you have them they do too!
