The human skeleton consists of 206 bones. We are actually born with more bones (about 300), but many fuse together as a child grows up.

A typical adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones, though a small portion of the human population have an extra bone, occurring in the form of an extra rib

well its easy to remember with two numbers in mind "2 and 6". when a child, human has about 260 bones and as it grows up bones fuse together to strenghten various body parts. so as he grows up the total number of bones become 206 in number, hence the "2 and 6" advice.

206 in an adult human. There are "more" in a child or young adult because certain bones have not yet fused to make the final adult form.
