The ear, well known anatomically in earlier investigations was only measured. We looked for 144 newborns and children (sex, age, morphology). We studied carefully and first of all systematically size, form and condition of the auricula. The form is genetically determined. Babies have a relative big ear between 9 and 15 months of age (accelerated?). In early time (20 century) this development only seen by children 3 years old. Eight specific characters changes with age (months). Outcome are proofed on 732 pupils. In forensic medicine a scientist should know this results before expertise of identification by mass disasters or unknown children.
在早期研究中，人们对耳朵的解剖结构已有所了解，但仅对其进行了测量。我们寻找了144名新生儿和儿童（涉及性别、年龄、形态）。我们首先系统地仔细研究了耳廓的大小、形状和状况。耳廓的形状由基因决定。婴儿在9至15个月大时耳朵相对较大（是加速发育吗？）。在早期（20世纪），这种发育情况只有3岁的儿童才会出现。八个特定特征会随着年龄（月龄）变化。研究结果在732名学生身上得到了验证。在法医学中，科学家在通过大规模灾难或身份不明儿童进行身份鉴定的专业工作之前，应该了解这些结果。
