As will various other head gear such as safety helmets, military helmets, gas masks, snorkeling gear, etc. Picture fire fighter protective head gear with room for fox-like ears. Maybe glasses are different to avoid interfering with motion of the ears. Movie theaters may announce "lower your ears" like they do "turn off your cell phone." | |

| Jul 31, 2019 at 9:22 | comment | added | arpanet101 | If the humans you're talking about already have the ability to sweat, your humans probably won't have pointy ears. If they still do, it's because of an adaptation to hunt at night or to go hunt things you can hear before you can see. | |
| Jul 31, 2019 at 2:35 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | I don't think this provides much cooling at all (and would be a severe liability in cold weather when you specifically want to avoid cooling but can't cut blood flow to these ears because they'll suffer frostbite). Seems very problematic and provides little advantage. | |

| Jul 30, 2019 at 23:41 | comment | added | Shadowzee | You would probably need to change the skull structure and hair structure of humans so it doesn't interfere with your giant ears. I don't think many animals grow hair out like we humans can do. | |
| Jul 30, 2019 at 23:40 | comment | added | Trevor | Are there any differences is very broad and opinion based. Can you narrow down specifically which difference you are looking for? | |
