Do women have one more rib than men?
Since Eve was formed out of a rib from Adam some Christians have grown up
believing that men have one less rib than women, which they don't. Some
anti-creationists have used this to mock Genesis.
But today, if someone loses their hand it doesn't mean that their children will
be born without hands. Interestingly ribs are one of the few bones in the body
that can grow back if removed as long as the periosteum, the tissue around the
bone, is left intact.
So even Adam would have had the same number of ribs as everyone else.
