Are u saying that "the # of bones can vary from one PERSON to another? I don't think so.
More than half of the body's 206 bones are in the hands and feet.
The skull is composed of 29 different bones.
Axial 80 bones and Appendicular 126 bones

Genetics. No two people are exactly alike. Therefore, the placement of organs, number of bones, physical attributes will differ from person to person.
Personal experiences. If you have lost a limb, finger, toe, etc., your bone count will differ from everyone else.

Maybe you are born after the Chernobyl explosion. Maybe the genetic scientists were playing cruel jokes with DNA.
