technically, because noone has a higher amount of bones but many people have less, this is false.

finally someone that doesnt just tell me there is a very rare disease that creates a single extra bone
anyway yeah if you count pregnant women the average skeletons in a human body is more than one

What about that one horrible disease where your muscles start turning into extra bones?
tubaruco@lemm.ee 11 months ago
those bones dont help much in making a skeleton

Rarer than getting a synthetic hip or being born without wisdom teeth, for example

Some people have additional bones.
tubaruco@lemm.ee 11 months ago
that is true, but most of these would either be worse for building a skeleton because they deform other bones or do nothing because theyre just extra bits that wouldnt help anyway (in case its a disjointed bone)
