Human Body Bones and Anatomy

David from MinuteEarth questions the standard anatomy textbook claim that humans have exactly 206 bones. He explains that bones develop from cartilage and that the number of bones can vary due to factors like fusion and individual differences. Textbooks inconsistently count bones, such as in the skull and tailbone. Some people have extra bones, which are not included in the standard count. The video highlights the diversity in human bone structure and promotes a new show, MinuteBody, available on the Nebula streaming platform.
