At birth, a newborn baby has over 300 bones, whereas on average an adult has

206 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse during

growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column.

The numbers refer to the modern human being, can vary slightly from one individual

to another, and apply whether the individual is alive or dead.
