Surprised no one's brought up yet that maybe not all Faunae have nonhuman ears. There's certainly evidence for this in episode 1; both Faunae in the background of the protest image appear to have human ears, and Adam most definitely does.

There's actually some precedent for this in genetics. If Faunae are hybrids of human and animal DNA (which I believe they are), it stands to reason that there would be a mix of dominant and recessive genes from both sides (read: 'physically evident' and 'not physically evident'). In Blake's case, her ears may either be quasi-hominid (part animal but predominantly human) or pure hominid (no animal DNA at all).

But then, this is a fantasy series that is already well outside the bounds of real world science. If she does have two sets of ears, then so be it.
