There are more people out there that are missing bones than those who have excess. Therefore , the average human does not have enough bones to make a full skeleton (the median would).
But there are also
pergerantepregnant women, which raise the number of bones inside a person 🤔There are about 130,000,000 birth’s per year. Assuming a word population of 8 billion and that an unborn baby has all its bones for 7/12 months, this increases the average number of bones inside humans by ~1%.
This would compensate 10% of the population, missing 10% of their bones. If you assume only 3.5/12 months, it’s still 10% missing 5%.
If that is correct, I would assume that the OP is correct, too.

There is also the issue of what an “entire skeleton” is in this context. Is a baby’s head on an adult’s ribcage considered OK or does it have to be an adult head?
Bone is bone
Also, babies have more bones
The measure of average will often be the median when talking about the average person.
After reading all the comments, the only thing I think we can safely conclude is the average person contains between 0-2 complete skeletons
Coincidence? I think not.
