Allegedly.
 
I have yet to see any scientific evidence of females
being created from the rib of a man...
 
That claim is therefore #fakenews
 

I've often wondered about this!!
 
If one of Adam's Ribs was taken to be used as the basis for Eve,
wouldn't this mean that Men should have an odd number of Ribs whereas
Women should have an even number of Ribs??

It would mean that Adam had an odd number of ribs. No reason
his descendants would too. (e.g. You lost an hand but you can still
sire two-handed children. Same thing applies here.)

OTOH some people think the rib thing is a mistranslation.
According to them, the original Hebrew really says God cut
open Adam’s side and pulled Eve out of the slit.

OT*O*OH the whole story isn’t literally true anyway.
