Whaddya think if humans are (were?) to evolve that
little flap so it can be completely and tightly pressed
against the ear (like you can do now with your finger)
thus acting as an 'eyelid' for your ear in case things get
too loud ?
I mean what the heck is it doing there now, eh?

PS: No joke. Take a look at it's direction. It might be there as a wind
shield or dirt shield. Perhaps the wiki does know? I've got no time to
read it.
