No, we can't.
Our bones are so dense and we are so heavy that we would need a wingspan of over 20m, and bones aren't strong enough to be able to support such a wingspan.

If you want mechanical wings, we have them.

can we grow wings? =/= can we grow wings and fly with them?

Theorically, we can grow itty-titty-bitty-dove wings right?

No, but you can grow extra arms, glue some feathers to them and flap as hard as you can.

No

But you can attach plastic wings to yourself and jump off a cliff.

Can'y fly but you can glide.
