Albinism is characterized by impaired melanin biosynthesis which predisposes to carcinoma. The head is taken as the commonest site of its occurrence. Therefore, the question arises as to the ear that borders it. The answer was obtained by studying this organ among the sun beaten Ibo albinos, who are domiciled in South Eastern Nigeria. Surprisingly, contrary to the pessimistic view that albinos seldom live beyond 30 years, two Ibo elements achieved 70 years. This is open to research.
