@ChipmunkErnie Which of the examples do they look more like ?

@bijouxbroussard The type that weren't traditionally identified with "criminal traits" 100 years ago. ;)

@ChipmunkErnie That’s more information than I unearthed.

@bijouxbroussard I just remember from old mystery novels and movies that lack of a defined earlobe was supposedly a sign of criminality at one time -- back when phrenology, etc., was a fad I guess. There were "scientists" coming up with definitions of physical characteristics that could be used to identify "criminals".

@ChipmunkErnie Very interesting. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard It might be an outgrowth of the Bertillon system which used body measurements to identify criminals before fingerprints. Not4 sure about that, though.
