How many vertebrae are in the human body?
Almost all humans are born with 33 separate vertebrae. By adulthood, most have only 24. This is due to the fusion of the vertebrae in certain parts of the spine during normal development. Different textbooks give different answers to this question. The confusion comes from the fact that the two lowest vertebrae -- the sacrum and the coccyx -- are each one bone, but they are made up from smaller bones fused together.There are 24 separate vertebrae; then there is the sacrum, which is formed from 5 fused vertebrae; and finally the coccyx, which is formed from between 3-5 fused vertebrae. Therefore, if the coccyx and sacrum are each classed as one vertebra, then there are 26 vertebrae. If the fused vertebrae are all counted separately, then there are 32-34 vertebrae. 32The human spine has 7 cervical, 12 Thoracic and 5 Lumbar vertebrae as well as 5 (fused) in the sacrum and another 4 (fused) in the coccyx which totals 33.33 in total. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar 5 sacral+4 coccygeal (fused)24, and are grouped under the names cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae) and lumbar (5 vertebrae), according to the regions they occupy. -WikipediaThere's a total of 33 vertebrae - comprising... 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccyx (fused)The correct answer is 33But usually there are "fused" bones (probably a bad thing) during our human development.I should point out that this number 33 has significance in many other areas besides just the actual number of our human vertebrae.thirty-three (33)vertebraeinhumansThere are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae.

The sacrum is actually made up of vertebrae which are fused together to make a more whole bone structure.5 vertebrae make up the sacrumAlso, the coccyx (tailbone) is considered another vertebrae1 vertebrae in the coccyx
How many vertebrae are in a black person?
An African human is just like a human from any other part of the world. All humans have 33 Vertebrae split into 5 regions. The top 7 are called the Cervical Vertebrae, then Next 12 are called the Thoracic Vertebrae, then the 5 Lumbar Vertebrae. All the vertebrae mentioned so far are free individual bones that are joined at their Vertebral Bodies by special cartilagenous joints called Intervertebral Disks. The next region down is the Sacral region (or Sacrum) within which all 5 vertebrae are fused to form effectively one bone. And the final 4 vertebrae are also fused to oneanother to form a structure known as the Coccyx. This adds up to a total of 33 vertebrae, present in all healthy human being. In plainer terms, healthy babies are born with 33 vertebrae, and through fusion a healthy adult is left with 26.

How is a human spine different from mammals?
The human spine is similar to the spines of other mammals in terms of its structure and function. It consists of vertebrae that provide support and protection to the spinal cord. However, the specific number of vertebrae and their shape may vary between different mammal species.
