A member asked:
Is it natural to have too many ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would certainly..: ...Be uncommon. But people are born with extra fingers and toes, so i suppose one could be born with an extra rib or two as well. In any case, if a person is born with an extra rib (or finger, or toe, or anything else) then it is "natural" for that person.
