Not really sure that the normal human ear size range really affects hearingAnyway I don't see humans as esp. a prey species - more of hunter, hence the forward facing eyes for good stereoscopic vision. Actually, whats interesting for humans is really we don't have an esp. developed sense -we have ok eyesight, smell and hearing - but other animals can have them much more developed. I guess a reflection of our generalist nature, much better communication abilities etc. Yep, I’m with Stella, I can’t imagine that ear size makes any great difference to running speed for humans - other wise sprinters would have some sort of ear sticker backer thing.

I just mentioned this to Rich about five minutes ago and he seems very taken with the subject, he is still wittering on about evolutionary characteristcs. surely you would need some ENORMOUS ears to be slowed down by wind resistance!

It's been bothering me for a while.... ;) lol… were hunter gathers assisted by larger ears that aided hearing and cooled the system as the ran, or slowed down wenough by wind resistance that they got eaten by a sabre-toothed tiger?
