A member asked:
Is it true that men and women have different amount of ribs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Those who take the statements in the bible quite literally would believe that men have one less rib since a rib was assumed to have been removed to be the starting point for women. But in fact the rib count, male v. Female, is the same.
