The human skull is made up of 22 bones, but at birth, the skull consists of many more bones that gradually fuse together as we grow. This fusion process allows for the flexibility needed during childbirth and provides space for the rapidly growing brain in early life. Additionally, the human skull is designed to protect the brain, with its strong and slightly rounded shape helping to deflect impacts and minimize injury. The skull's unique structure showcases an incredible balance between protection and adaptability.
