In modern society, fashion and trends often extend beyond clothing and accessories. One intriguing and stylized phenomenon that has captured attention is the mysterious “hole in the ear.”

Many people have this small mark—either naturally or through intentional piercing—and its presence has sparked both questions and curiosity. But what does this little mark on the ear really mean?

Could We Be Descendants of Fish?

According to an article published by Business Insider, these tiny “holes” could represent an evolutionary trait reminiscent of the gills of fish.

It is believed that this feature is a reminder that life began in the sea, and that some people carry more prominent marine-related traits in their genetic makeup. That’s why some individuals have this mark, while others do not.
