What rib did God take from Adam to create woman?

During the middle Ages, when the Church insisted on absolute faith in the Bible over scientific inquiry, it was commonly believed that men had one less rib than women. Few surgeons would dare to check, and if they did, they would have kept quiet about it. Now of course, we know that men and women have the same number of ribs.

Why bible says that men have less rib than women?

It says that the rib was taken from the man (Adam) and formed into the woman (Eve). However, this could be a mistranslation, as both men and women have the same number of ribs. It's thought to maybe a mistranslation of the word for penile bone. Men don't have a bone in the penis, but many mammals do. This would both explain the absence of the bone, and also the reason we all have the same number of ribs.

How many ribs are in the skeletal system of men and women?

Indigenous Men and women all have 14 pair of ribs.{Native American, Eskimo, Aborigine, etc... etc...} Medical science teaches that all men and women have 14 sets. However to the contrary. I have 13 up one side and 14 up the other. I found this out when I asked my chiropractor if it was true, the "Adams Rib" idea. He said that it was just a bunch of Bible melarky. Then he got out my x-ray and began counting only to find that my rib cage gave compliance to "Adams Rib". Since then I have been observant of peoples rib cages. Women all the same, symetrical and uniform in shape. Men of indigenous descent also are symetrical and uniform in shape. Thus indicating an equal number of ribs per side. Non -indigenous Men have a non-symetrical shape to the rib cage. This is my experience and observation on the subject. Any scientific research on the subject seems incomplete and vague. For this reason I suggest you research it yourself If you care to have an accurate idea.
