Supposedly women have 24 ribs where males only have 23. This is because God took one rib from Adam Who originally had 24 ribs but since God took one from him to create Eve women have 24 ribs and men only have 23

Generally, both males and females each have 24 ribs, 12 on each side. The first seven sets of ribs are known as "true ribs." The next 5 sets are referred to as "false ribs." The final two sets are called "floating ribs."

There are 12 ribs on the left and 12 ribs on the left to give a total of 24 ribs. This is the same for men and women.

Male and female ribcages both have the same amount of ribs. The rib cage has 24 ribs, the sternum, coastal cartilages, and the 12 thoracic vertebrae. The number can be increased, 0.5% of the population has an additional cervical rib.

Answer:

There is misunderstaning among people that take The Bible literally that men have a missing rib as God took a rib from Adam to create Eve.The term rib is not an accurate translation of the original Hebrew word. Many scholars now think the bone referred to was the baculum as this bone is missing in humans but present in most other mammals. The baculum (also penis bone, penile bone or OS penis), is a bone found in their penis to aid in sexual intercourse. It is absent in humans but present in the chimpanzee, our nearest relative.The "rib" story was invented to explain this apparent anatomical anomaly

Despite popular belief, women do not have more ribs than men. Each gender has exactly the same number of ribs - twelve.
