Heh, many years ago I wrote a far-future scene featuring a human with 
striped skin (and hair) and tufted ears.  Never did fit it into a 
broader story.

The book I'm reading argues that humans do show many physical (as well 
as mental) signs of domestication: lighter bones, smaller jaws and 
molars ... Perhaps our ears kept their cartilage because we need them 
for humans' most distinctive skill.
