Sure, there are countless factors. I was just under the impression that a population of 4 would be wholly insufficient to continue a species.
I’m uneducated on the topic, just asking questions.

Oh okay so you could technically repopulate with just two humans if you were to follow certain protocols?
I didn’t know that was possible. Do you know what exactly you would have to do to achieve that diversity again?
