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.
