My teacher is an bone surgeon and he said we have the same number. But, don't men have one less rib than women because Adam gave one rib to make Eve?

Men and Women have the same number of ribs. Their is a rumor that Eve came from Adam's penile bone which explains why humans don't have baculum. In the hebrew language their is no word for penis.

Nope, same number of ribs for both genders. It's a myth that men have less. I assume that it made sense to someone based on the Biblical story of creation, they offered it as a fact and people have been passing it around ever since.
But it's false.

yep but false it is just very small but a cool experiment I saw once based on the fact that the center of gravity is different and so women are harder to tip over. Hold a bucket of water stand close to a wall place tour head on the wall place the bucket down and step back a few inches so that your head is holding you against the wall........ A woman can grab the Bucket and stand straight up a man cannot.

Sorry. No. We all have the same number. Adam's rib must've grown back.
