Are there any doctors in the house? Because I'd swear that looks like they used the model of a male skeleton here.

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 84 points 9 months ago

I'm a doctor and I can tell it's right because there's no penis bone.

So you've confirmed that the skeleton is probably human then, and not a primate?

is probably human then, and not a primate?

In the same way that a sparrow is not a bird

[-] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 8 points 9 months ago

My reply was more about humans not having a penis bone, although most primates do.

It is actually a male skeleton based on the pelvic bone. If this is indeed a female skeleton, then the woman will not survive giving birth to this child due to Trauma induced Post partum hemorrhage due to Lateral diameter insufficiency in a female with Android pelvis. I would have sent her to C section as soon as she went into labour, preferably even before that.

Thank you for that! I'm a computer tech, so the furthest thing from having any real medical knowledge, but I've seen enough to think that those dimensions just looked really wrong and comparisons to real skeletons online just seemed to reinforce that belief.

So that's why they call it a miracle.
