On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 300 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column.
The number of bones per area:
Skull (22)
Chest (25)
Vertebral column (26)
Feet (52)
Hands (54)
So the hands have the most bones.

I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure I learned in Anatomy that there are 206 bones in the skeleton. We are born with lots more, but they fuse together as we grow.

The usual answer to how many bones is 206. But we all have differing amounts, we have various numbers of sesamoid bones and wormian bones in the sutures of the skull. The skull has the greatest number of bones.

depending on who you talk to, i think it is accepted that the body has 206 bones-controversy comes when, for example, some consider the coccyx 1 bone, while others consider it 4 bones-fused together...

I know the total is over 200 but can be different from human to human, and I believe the hands have the most at 27.
