Morphological examination of ear: a study of an Indian population.
The uniqueness of human ear and hence its utility for identification of individuals has been postulated. There is however, no published data that establishes each individual's ear is different and distinct, and that an individual can be identified conclusively from comparison of the ear. Data presented in this study indicate that comparison of ear based on morphological examination can be used as a corroborative evidence.
