actually, you’re forgetting about amputees and people born with fewer limbs. it’s likely less than 1.

And you’re forgetting that about 1% of the population is pregnant at any given time and has another whole human inside of them.

honestly curious about how those two would end up statistically balancing out.

There are not very many amputees compared to pregnant woman, and babies have a lot more bones that are in your typical limb

Skeleton, not bones. Amputees still have.a skeleton, don’t they?

the question is: is a skeleton that’s missing pieces still “one skeleton”? And if so, at which point does it become not a skeleton? Because i’m reasonably sure you wouldn’t call a severed foot a skeleton even though it is still arguably “one skeleton” that is just missing a lot of pieces.

i think a skeleton is just multiple bones together that are attached. A pile of bones isn’t a skeleton, it’s a pile of bones
