My son has the same problem with one of his ears. The other ear is fine though, but he has a skin tab on it.The oddest one is that I have slightly deformed ears. It's just the part that sticks out from the head (called the pinna or auricle apparently, according to Google), not the actual inner workings of the ear. They just didn't grow quite right and parts of the outer rim of my ears didn't fully.. unfold? I guess that word works. There's a ridge of flesh that goes around the outer rim of the ear and is supposed to form a sort of crevice there, but for almost all of it on my left ear and at the very top of my right ear the flesh is actually just fused and has no little gap thing there. My left ear looks a bit pointed because of this as well. Luckily it doesn't affect my hearing in any noticeable way, and they're not fucked up enough for most people to notice at a glance, but it's still an abnormal thing.
Kinda, yeah, but not exactly the traditional survival of the fittest evolution. Large segments of humans have gotten to the point where the rigors of surviving in the wild don't apply to them anymore and there are all sorts of great technological and medical advances to make up for defects, so mutations like being near-sighted or asthmatic can thrive and spread now where back in hunter-gatherer days most such unlucky bastards would probably die before reproducing. We're still evolving because it's simply unavoidable due to reproduction being an imperfect cycle, but now it's sort of laissez faire instead of there being a major struggle to live to maturity and reproduce.I wonder if this is what they call evolution..
Belatedly I remembered that some of my toes on my right foot are very slightly deformed from when I was a baby. I guess I got squished in the womb or smthI literally cannot see beyond a foot away from my face, and my vision got worse as I hit puberty. I've been wearing them since the third grade and I'll have to wear them forever. It's the strangest thing to see things correctly with my own vision without the aid of glasses, I've worn them so much that I tend to forget what my actual vision looks like.
Not to mention I have an overbite still. I had an appliance to move it forward about five or six years ago but I'm starting to question how well it worked.
I think my metabolism works a little too well, not that I'm complaining but I'm underweight and can't seem to gain much weight. Kinda affects my ability to grow boobs or have a period (which I'm still not complaining about)
My best friend is like this, and it frustrates me too how people just say "Everyone is" if you tell someone you're allergic to urushiol (the chemical in poison ivy/oak/sumac that people are allergic to). My friend makes me nervous because she's almost always doing something out in the woods around the stuff.I am allergic to poison ivy and other plants from that family. I know what you are thinking, that everyone has a reaction to that stuff. Well not everyone has their throat swell up an hour after touching some with their hand.
