    Yeah I don’t disagree. But people are also pretty adaptable, I think we can survive some pretty apocalyptic stuff. (That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything we can to stop climate change, I just think it’s pretty likely at least two people will survive)

      I’m reading a lot of variation about the minimum viable breeding population of humans from around 100 to over 1000, but no one says two.

        Yeah inbreeding would be terrible. But anyway, I think it’s likely some people could survive an apocalypse.

      Humans have almost gone extinct several times in our history. What makes you think we are special? Species go extinct all the time, just not usually by their own hands.
