@reiddragon @wyatt Because missing a rib is genetic, not Lamarckian, Adam's descendants had the full number of ribs. Also, it's a running theme throughout that part of The Bible that a being's life is in its blood, and blood is made in the bones. So if I had to guess, the ribcage must have been the most convenient place for God to get a bone marrow sample out of Adam at the time.

PS: I'm glad your balcony 'freezer' did as needed! Hope the bone broth is great. ❤️

Quasi-related, I had my first-ever bone marrow #biopsy recently. Turns out the specialist doing the biopsy had never had anyone ask (as I did), "With times being the way they are these days, do humans have enough #BoneMarrow to bother eating our neighbours if things get really bad?"

He laughed but also said he didn't know … and while this was (on my part) entirely intended to be a profession-related quirky bit of trivia to glean, now I am fretting over whether I should risk a browser search to satisfy my curiousity! 😂😂😂😛😀
