The average adult human has 206 bones in their body. However, this number can vary slightly from person to person due to variations such as the presence of extra bones (such as extra ribs or small accessory bones) or the fusion of certain bones. In infants, there are about 270 bones, but as they grow, some of these bones fuse together, resulting in the typical adult count of 206.
