Adult Humans have 12 pairs of ribs, making 24 ribs in total.

---------------------------------

Some believe that females have 24 ribs and men have less. That belief is usually based on the Biblical account of Adam and Eve. In reality, men and women have the same number of ribs, 24.

Men and women both have 24 ribs - 12 on each side. The first seven pairs of ribs are connected to the sternum (breast bone). Rarely, some people have one more or less pairs of ribs due to various genetic mutations.
