Answer:

If you decided that the continuous spectrum of earlobe shape was a more accurate way to describe the variation, you aren’t alone. Family and genetic studies show that earlobe attachment is actually not a simple trait, but rather a complex trait, affected by multiple genes and environmental factors.
