What ethnicity are pointy/elf like ears unique to?

Question

just wondering, thanks.

Answer 1

Vulcan, like Mr. Spock from the original 'Star trek'.  Just kidding, I couldn't resist that one.

Answer 2

This is a family of rare congenital ear deformities where the rim of the ear is flattened and the upper portions deformed. The skin and cartilage are folded to different degrees that can result in a pointed upper edge even resembling a Vulcan (Star Trek) ear shape. It can appear in many degrees from mild to severe.

Very rare in Caucasians, Stahl's ear deformity is more common in Orientals. This malformation may have a hereditary component, studies have not been conclusive.

Answer 3

They can occur in any society.  You do see them a bit more in the eastern european countries.  Generally among the gypsy cultures.

Answer 4

leprachauns

Answer 5

People from many ethnicities can have pointy ears.
