WE DON'T KNOW THE REASON !!!!
Earlobes are one of those body parts that don't have a single, obvious job !!!
Earlobes vary a lot across people.
Other primates have much smaller or no distinct lobes.
Removing them surgically won't affect hearing or to maintain balance.
Earlobes are made up of skin and fat, no cartilage or muscle. They are just structural left overs.
Some theory states that earlobes might help dissipate heat since they are fatty and have a good blood supply.
There is no bones in earlobes so it doesn't affect hearing.
But researchers say earlobes are an evolutionary byproduct with no critical function !!!!
