Can a human have 34 vertebrae?
Yes. The human spine is made up of three parts, the cervical spine(neck), the thoracic(middle), and the lumbar (lower back). The lumbar consists of 5 vertebrae in the average adult human, but may also only have 4 or 6 vertebrae depending on the individual, although this is not as common. There can be sacralization of the 5th lower lumbar resulting in only 4 lumber vertebrae, or a vertebrae of the sacrum where the individual has an extra 6th lumbar vertebrae. While all adults have 7 cervical vertebrae there is much more variation in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The thoracic too may have a 13th vertebrae resulting in an extra rib. And as mentioned before the lumbar may have 4-6 vertebrae depending on the individual.
