1. Earlobe

   The human earlobe (lobulus auriculae), the lower portion of the outer ear, is composed of tough areolar and adipose connective tissues, lacking the firmness and elasticity of the rest of the auricle (the external structure of the ear). In some cases the lower lobe is connected to the side of the face. Since the earlobe does not contain cartilage it has a large blood supply and may help to warm the ears and maintain balance. However, earlobes are not generally considered to have any major biological function. The earlobe contains many nerve endings, and for some people is an erogenous zone. The zoologist Desmond Morris in his book The Naked Ape (1967) conjectured that the lobes developed as an additional erogenous zone to facilitate the extended sexuality necessary in the evolution of human monogamous pair bonding.

1. earlobe

   An earlobe is the soft, fleshy lower part of the external ear; it is usually rounded and hangs freely. It contains no cartilage or bone, unlike the rest of the ear, and has a rich blood supply which makes it warmer and thus, attractive to insects. Earlobes are often used for jewelry and can be pierced for wearing earrings.
