if you get hardcore into it.. then no.. bones fuse over time so the number is different in everyone.
hope yo get a good answer.

Not true, little babies have alot of bones, and they end up joining and forming 1.
Lots of people are born without bones, so that would also make it incorrect. You should google it for more info, and maybe look at a scan of the body where you can see the bones.
Humans are born with over 300 bones. Many of them fuse together, and by the time we reach adulthood, we have 206 bones in total.
normal people end up having that much, but not in the very beginning, and not everyone is normal sadly.

LOL you getting us to do your homework?
When you were born you had over 300 bones. As you grew, some of these bones began to fuse together. The result? An adult has only 206 bones!

However, as the effects of depleted uranium and other contaminants leach into the earth and water, these things may change over the next few decades. And once genetic structure is changed, it is for good.

No. Babies are born with approximately 300 bones and cartilage, and they merge and ossify into 206 bones at about age 12. Women have the same amount of bones as men, but are more gracile (thinner / narrower in nature).

Acutally there can be more than that- not all people are the same right? Abnormalities can be seen with the spine (cervical and lumbar/sacral regions) as well as in the foot. At least those are the areas that I am aware of. Verify my answer? It's somewhere in my P.T. books- I'm not about ready to spend alot of time counting the bones in an anatomy book. Believe it or not

Humans are born with more bones that ossify over time. For example, at birth the cranial bones are incomplete. The chondocranium is unossified. The occipital bone is divided into four bones and the frontal is sagitally divided. Fontanelles ossify over the first two years.

No - infants are born with many more bones, about 350, but over time they fuse together.

Considering there have been humans born with
arms and legs missing, conjoined twins, etc, clearly
the answer is "no".
"All" is perhaps more encompassing than you had
in mind.
