A new study has found that ear shape is more reliable than the widely-used fingerprint. The study was conducted by the University of Southampton in the UK. Similar studies have been conducted in the past, but this is the first study to find that ear shapes are more reliable to identify individuals than the ones used to do so. The findings could be used in the future of biometrics, such as fingerprinting, as well as other forms of biometric technology, according to the study.
