Why would elves around the world share pointed ears?

On my alternate earth, elves originally evolved their phenotype (pointed ears) in the forests of Africa and migrated to other forest biomes afterward. After settling down they developed the racial differences we see in our world today. Darker skin near the equator, monolids in the east, etc. But all elves regardless of placement still share their trademark pointed ears with only minor changes such as size and length. Why would they still share this one trait after hundreds of thousands of years of separation?
