Are infinitesimally shaved average bones not bones? Idk who is the bone authority responsible for making that decision.
There are a lot of people missing bones, but I don’t think anyone has extra, so….
What about people with extra fingers and toes? Parasitic twins?
Pregnant women as well. Now their human body contains two skeletons, thus raising the average number of bones in a human body by a considerable amount. I would guess there's probably more pregnant women than there are people missing limbs.
Ok then technically we are all born with an extra set of teeth. That we lose. So a full skeleton contains all the baby teeth as well.
Traditionaly when talking about the skeleton, we refer to the adult skeleton seeing as an adolescent skeleton have more bones that then fuse. I agree that we need to take that into account, but I don't believe the statement would be referring to an adolescent skeleton.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about pregnancy. That should count too.
Plenty of people do. My sister for example had bones in her feet that never fused and had to have an extra removed. I guess that's pretty common
Some people were born with extra fingers, and sometimes entire extra limbs.
My wife has an extra rib above her collarbone.
