Abstract
Identity of a person can be established using various physical characteristic features of the human body. Human external ear pattern is one such characteristic feature. The study was conducted on 100 men and 100 women who satisfy the inclusion criteria. The anthropometric measurements of the right ear and the left ear of each subject were taken. The measurements of each ear of every subject were compared with the ear measurements of the rest of the subjects including the contra lateral ear of the same subject to prove Bilateral Asymmetry. For the pairs of ear which cannot be distinguished clearly, superimposition technique was used to show the differences comparatively.
