Why not none? Bones are a terrible affliction.

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.

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.

I also vote for outside bone instead of inside bone.

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

Reject articulation; become dog biscuit

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.

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

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

i feel cheated somehow.

After all, it's not btwohundredsix.

If we had just one, it would be very hard to move.

Well that would just be a gingerbread man.

genius question. in the next chapter: why do we have 10¹² cells and not just one giant one?

Yeah, we say bone not bany, what gives...

We'd be doing the T-pose but unironically

Human animal cracker

For one thing you couldn’t hear sounds or noises all that good withou free-floating inner ear bones

Smooth, efficient, and most of all, calm

It would be a lot more painful when drinking BoneHurtingJuice

MONOBONE

Is an osteoblast posting this? They hate constantly getting their hard work removed by osteoclasts.

Dog treat kinda bone

Capitalism in a fucking nutshell.

Sometimes I have 207 bones, wink wink

I have one big bone right now. Hey, baby

Why do I keep seeing the stuff I see in Instagram in lemmy?
