Why not none? Bones are a terrible affliction.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You can add new bones to your body any time you please

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.

[–] recentSlinky@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

That explains why no one would sleep with me. It's not me, it's just biology.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I also vote for outside bone instead of inside bone.

Evolution isn't a democracy but sure, freedom of speech

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.

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.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If he had just one bone then we wouldn't rattle when we walk.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking we could walk with just one bone.

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

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 week ago

There would be no need for muscles with only one bone

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.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] modus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

Humans are the only ape not to have a penis bone.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol I’d be keeping a tally on how many I broke off. You don’t actually want that.
