People would be intentionally breaking bones, for “super-human” flexiblity.

There would be no need for muscles with only one bone

I didnt break my collarbone on purpose but I feel very bending, and much pain when I over stretch the ligament

But if you wrapped muscles around the rigid bone frame, we could probably still wriggle and flop about. We’d find a way, it’d be okay.

I once met a person with Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Her bones were fusing together and over time she became more and more immobile. She’s probably dead now. I hope that answers your questions.

That’s horrible. In the end, did she get chucked into her grave like a frisbee?

I heard they just propped her up in the foyer. She probably looked like the image on the right.

I’m glad we don’t. Makes us more flexible so we can fuck in many different positions and angles. Could you imagine doing all of doggy style and missionary and cowgirl and reverse cowgirl and riding and all the other positions with a dick that can’t bend like a willow branch? Oof

Oh, humans can have basically one bone.
They are horrible and agonizing conditions, perhaps similar to being slowly partially or totally mummified by your own body.
Ankylosing Spondylitis, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Klippel-Feil Syndrome, etc.
Imagine your bones all fusing together. You can’t bend, or maybe walk, move your jaw, or maybe even breathe.
Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
The human body evolved for resilience: having a large number of bones provides redundancy, meaning that we can break many bones and still have at least one to spare.
It’s also partially a vestigial trait, as our ancestors needed to do a lot of boning in order for the species to survive - nowadays we don’t need to replenish our numbers as much.

Ok I do get why we aren’t just one big bone, but why don’t our palms and feet fuse?

Can you imagine stepping on a rock when every bone in your foot/ankle is fused?
Seems like a recipe for broken bones and never being able to run anywhere, ever.
sangeteria@lemmy.ml 8 hours ago
No actually this was good I forgot about rocks and that we also bend our palms to grip things. Sometimes u get a brain fart
NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 8 hours ago
Because then they would be immobile without any joints between the bones. If they were one big bone, they’d essentially be a block of wood shaped like a hand/foot

Alan Dean Foster wrote a scif novel called Nor Crystal Tears that was mainly from the pov of an alien insect species. The differences were explored in body structure and culture and the confusion when they run across these weird humans with their bones on the inside... and they made obscene noises with their flapping flesh things on their head.

Cellular biology always reminds me how crazy animals are; how much time and how many generations animals must have taken to get here.
zarathustrad@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Fraggle Rock helped me understand this part of cell bio (osteoclasts/blasts).
In the underground caverns of your skeleton, a perfect symbiotic ecosystem exists between two distinct groups: the Osteoblasts (the Doozers) and the Osteoclasts (the Fraggles). Just as in Fraggle Rock, their survival depends on a continuous cycle of building and eating, ensuring the structural integrity of their world
Like the industrious Doozers, osteoblasts are obsessed with construction.
The osteoclasts are the carefree Fraggles of this system. They roam the bone surface looking for old, damaged, or unnecessary structures to “snack” on.

It’s a robust system: when a bone is fractured and not straightened before healing, it will eventually get close to the right shape.

Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
Having a bone is perfectly normal for around half of humans.
Having two bones is not normal. Also for 3 bones, 4 bones and so on.
At around 206 bones it’s normal again.
