I guess humans can have any number of arms. The number of arm don't change that a person is human. But but the number of arms humans have right now is between 0 and maybe 4? If there is a person with 4 arms.
the way this is expressed is "humans typically have two arms".
the other statement is " humans can have 0-4 arms".
so it's just a matter of choosing words carefully, of using precise language. you can express any of these concepts without any confusion.
