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.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about pregnancy. That should count too.

My wife has an extra rib above her collarbone.

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.
