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

          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.

          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
