I can't speak to ears for my relatives, but mine stick out. However, there are a couple other features which seem to pass down through the generations on male side. Myself, my father, my uncles, and my grandfather all have a large well defined mole on the back of our left calves. We also all have a mole on our left cheeks. For some this mole is very noticeable, for others like myself, the only way to know its there is to feel the cheek and feel the hard tissue and slight bump where the mole should be. My father was very artistic. He played in Elvis Presley's band in Germany, when Elvis was in the service. Unfortunately, he failed to pass down his musical ability to me. I can sing but thats it. He could also draw--me, I can't draw a squiggly line! ...tim west...
