I'm gonna guess that amputations are more common than having extra bones. Especially given the world we live in

    I'm not at all sure about that. According to sources i see, extra bones occur in roughly 10 to 30% people.

    Before we clarify the average, we must define what an entire skeleton means. If some people have 'extra' bones - who says that this isn't the baseline and the majority is lacking some?
