Do black people have an extended or extra tailbone?
I don't think so. Yes, they can, how do i know this, i was born with an extended tail bone.. very painful at times, and now that i have lost weight, more than ever! When I was 13 I had a back infection that ate away 1/4 of the bone just above my tailbone. When it grew back it fused with the tailbone, producing an extended tailbone (and apparently reduced flexibility). The doctors said this doesn't happen naturally, and the only people who would have an extended tailbone like this are people who experienced what I did or have had surgery. But perhaps they were talking about that particular TYPE of E.T. because I have one less vertebrae now.

In the human body what is the bone above the tailbone?
The question is not very specific. Most people consider the tail bone to be the sacrum. This is a wide, upside down triangular shaped bone formed by the fusion of 5 separate bones. Above that is the 5th lumbar vertebra. Some people refer to the coccyx as the tail bone. This is the absolute lowest segment of the spine. It is made of 3 small bones that fuse together in early childhood. Above the coccyx bone is the sacrum. From the skull moving down the spine you have 7 cervical vertebrae that make up the neck. Next you have 12 thoracic vertebrae that make up the middle back. The ribs are attached to this section. Next is 5 lumbar vertebrae, or your lower back. Next you have the sacrum, or 5 sacral bones in young children. Then you have the coccyx which in childhood is made up of 3 bones in young children before it fuses into one bone we call the coccyx.
