For example, people who can wiggle their ears or raise one eyebrow, the body is obviously able to control those muscles. But for most people, they can’t do it from the start and had to practice overtime. Why are we not able to do it from the start? I understand it may be due to those muscles not serving much of a purpose compared to others, but we are still able to control them.
In: Biology
Ear wiggling is pretty fascinating. It comes from evolutionary ancestors that had more control of their ears. Some people can wiggle their ears much more easily, either because the muscles are stronger or the brain circuits for controlling that exact muscle are stronger.
The thing is, with enough practice, people can strengthen their muscles and their ability to control them.
