Things that confuse me

@Tinywhisper11 I think that a lot of the reason behind not teaching about cowboys and Indians is because the brutality of a lot of it is denied. They romanticize the cowboys and paint the native Americans as savages. Much of the history is inaccurate and told from one side. (Just my thoughts) 

@Tinywhisper11 about the ears, they are  symmetrically positioned on both sides of the head, aligned roughly with the eyes and extending from the eyebrows to the base of the nose. They are anchored to the skull by the auricular muscles and connective tissues. Structurally, the outer ear (pinna or auricle) is primarily composed of elastic cartilage, covered by skin. This cartilage gives the ear its flexible yet stable shape. The ear also contains ligaments and small muscles that help maintain its position, although these muscles are generally non-functional in humans. Blood vessels and nerves run through the ear, supporting its sensory functions.

The only bone part are the "hammer", that works along the eardrums. Tiny 3 part systems that help us receive the sound vibrations through the air.

@Tinywhisper11 i think you have much to learn.......the leaders of a society,,,teach only what is needed to achieve the specific outcome. history is created by the victors......

As far as I am aware, (though admittedly there may be some gaps in my knowledge), the dearth of books on the time period of cowboys and indians is due copyright issues; after watching early movies at the outset of film, both parties realised that the new technology was going to be big and also simultaneously realised that their respective images, stories, and key figures would be a significant draw for film makers after 'talkies' would be invented. The scope for film was potentially huge (not to mention all the merchandising that would follow in it's wake). There was but one small hitch,...books. Books had a much more successful marketing campaign, coupled with a die-hard following of readers (not to be confused with Die-Hard watchers whom would not appear until the 1980s). So, to ensure all future financial gains they copied some notes form Jules Vern, invented a time machine, and then travelled forwards to copyright everything to do with them and place prohibitive restrictions on their use with the written word. Thus ensuring the legacy of films and preventing the proliferation of textbooks. (Some of this might be incorrect, but i think the basic gist is mostly on target)

As to ears, I am not certain but I think their attachment to the skull has something to do with BluTacK.

Tiny, I LOVE the questions you ask. Keep asking! 

You've already gotten some good replies, you don't really need mine. 

I grew up with American history lessons. My interpretation would be that the cowboys are taught as the first settlers to move west. They weren't really "cowboys" then but early pioneers. The Indians are the Native Americans that lived freely on the land before the settlers stole their land. It's a sad story that has been written and re-written, and yes, depending on where you get your information, you'll see different variations of this story. 

Then again, as a grade-school student, I basically flunked history, I thought it was boring old stuff. As an adult, I find it fascinating.

@Tinywhisper11 So cowboy and Indians have ears that connect to their necks, and they don't teach about ears in school because of the secret human vs ear war ended in 2019 was louder than expected, perhaps you've heard about it... *Sappy joke music*
