    No it doesn’t, because some people are missing limbs or ribs or have artificial joints. So the average body would have slightly fewer bones than necessary to make a whole skeleton.

      Pregnant women would increase the average to greater than one complete skeleton per person.

        But are those bones in the body of the pregnant woman, or is the body of the fetus a different set?

          Even if you count the fetus as a human, the fetuses bones are still inside the pregnant woman. So there are still more than one skeleton on average inside humans.
