    If their children, instead of paring off, mated in a matrix, with each male reproducing with every female (and vise versa), after a few generations there would be huge matrix of combinations. There would, of course, be a lot of genetic problems, but there would also be a large number of viable offspring. If the problematic people didn't reproduce, there would eventually be large, genetically diverse and stable population.

    As a practical matter, the answer is no. You need a minimum number of people to maintain enough genetic diversity to avoid long-term problems (something called "the founder effect" or a "genetic bottleneck" in Biology). I've read that that minimum number has been estimated at around 50,000 individuals. One of the reasons scientists are so worried about the cheetah population is that, not only are their numbers low, the species shows indications of exactly this sort of a troubling lack of genetic diversity.

    So basically it'll depend on how genetically gifted the two last people on earth are? If both have an incredibly tiny portion of negative genetic mutations, there would be a higher probability of things working out. If both were genetically perfect (is this even possible?), Then I can imagine things working out with quite a high probability.

      I think so. But then again, evolution is driven on variety. If they have quite similar genes, then a disease could probably wipe them out in a snap. A group might survive, and they might be immune to that disease. But they might also be more succeptible to other diseases.

    This dilemma forgets to include issues regarding the risks of childbirth. Without functioning hospitals, and no nurses or midwives to assist them (presumably just the husband, a baby delivery guide, and whatever pain relievers they could scrounge up), the woman could have a much higher risk of maternal and/or infant mortality. Obviously it's doable, our ancestors were able to have kids without modern healthcare. But each time she tries to give birth, she's potentially gambling her life or the infant's life. For comparison, in England and Wales in 1895, the maternal death rate was roughly 650,000; globally in 2017, it was a little under 294,000. In ancient Rome circa 200 BCE, the infant mortality rate was 30%; globally in 2017 it was 2.9%.

By the time it was attempted to try to save the bird there were two females but then one died without offspring leaving just "Old Blue" and a handful (single figures) of males. But the old girl with help did it and produced offspring. Today there are maybe 300 birds all directly descended from "Old Blue".

      @TheRealScooterGuy 10 месяцев назад +3

      In one of his non-fiction articles, Isaac Asimov wrote that a colony ship should have at least 1,000 people to ensure enough genetic diversity. It's possible that with genetic screening, that number could be reduced safely, but that's not helpful to the protagonists of this video who are attempting to repopulate the earth, or at least their neighborhood. (What might be helpful is the fact that our written works seem to remain available to them, and the kids could research how to get medical science back on track. With an emphasis on genetic research, they might be able to assist in the odds of their own children surviving and repopulating the planet. They'll still have some kids who think it's funny to throw aerosol cans into the campfire.

    Idk where I heard this, but someone told me in order for 2 people to be able to repopulate, one of the sons would have to have a kid with the mom and the father would have to have one with one of the daughters. So that way instead of everyone being 50% mom 50% dad, you would have 2 different families. One that is 75% dad 25% mom and one that is 75% mom 25% dad, this apparently would allow for more mutation in the blood line very early in the repopulation process...

    The best way to increase their chances would be to do away with the idea of monogamy.

And if the mutation is beneficial, like better sun resistance, the kid will be stronger and more reproductive. But if that kid is born in the colder regions it will be less beneficial.

    Yes, but at some point (probably pretty quickly) you would encounter the "inbreeding" problem. This obviously assumes that the two people can pro-create in the first place.

      No, actually if the breed a lot ( let's say each of the 10 male kids has 2 kids with each of the 18 females leading to around 360 kids) no imagine even as high as 95% of them die before they are old enough to breed around 18 kids still survived(considering they survived they have a lower chance to have a recessive genes as the ones that did most likely died, you know natural selection doing it's thing)
      let's say they weren't super unlucky to all be of the same gender so they can still breed ( I am gonna assume 12 males 6 females in case they are a little unlucky) if they all once again breed a lot ( each males has 2 kids with each female so around 144 kids) now let's say this time a lower portion of them die because as I already mentioned their parents were less likely to have bad genes ( let's say only 50% die, lol I just realised most of them would have to see hundreds of deaths) so around 72 survive long enough to breed.
      Let's say they aren't super super unlucky and all 72 are not the same gender( the chances of that happening are too low) I am assuming around 30 females 42 males ( so once again lot of breeding and you end up with around 2520 children out of which around 1260 make it to breeding age)
      At this point, they should breed (over 420,000 kids)and then spread out into 4 to 5 groups so that when they all adapt to different surroundings the groups slowly become more distant allowing for genetic diversity
      So, yeah they can do it as long as they breed alot and aren't super unlucky.

    Actually if the breed a lot ( let's say each of the 10 male grandkid has 2 kids with each of the 18 females grandkid leading to around 360 kids) no imagine even as high as 95% of them die before they are old enough to breed around 18 kids still survived(considering they survived they have a lower chance to have a recessive genes as the ones that did most likely died, you know natural selection doing it's thing)
    let's say they weren't super unlucky to all be of the same gender so they can still breed ( I am gonna assume 12 males 6 females in case they are a little unlucky) if they all once again breed a lot ( each males has 2 kids with each female so around 144 kids) now let's say this time a lower portion of them die because as I already mentioned their parents were less likely to have bad genes ( let's say only 50% die, lol I just realised most of them would have to see hundreds of deaths) so around 72 survive long enough to breed.
    Let's say they aren't super super unlucky and all 72 are not the same gender( the chances of that happening are too low) I am assuming around 30 females 42 males ( so once again lot of breeding and you end up with around 2520 children out of which around 1260 make it to breeding age)
    At this point, they should breed (over 420,000 kids)and then spread out into 4 to 5 groups so that when they all adapt to different surroundings the groups slowly become more distant allowing for genetic diversity
    So, yeah they can do it as long as they breed alot and aren't super unlucky.

    The fact that they're able to deliver babies without hospital resources is the most impressive part of this example 👀. By hospital resources, I'm also including the expertise from said hospitals.
    Edit: Getting annoyed with people saying "Well we did that for 1000s of years and people still do that around the world"
    My genuine question to you would then be "Can you deliver a baby right now without any of the hospital resources provided by modern medicine?"
    I'd argue that most people either won't be able to comfortably say yes or will say no (myself included). Lets take in this example that the two people left on earth are of prime procreation age (18-30). What are the chances that one or both of them could say yes? Even those who probably live and breathe this stuff would struggle.
    If there are only 2 people left to procreate the Earth, our global infrastructure would cease to function. You would have no electricity, water or gas. That's assuming you managed to survive long enough to get pregnant and go into labor.
    If you do somehow get to that point, what will you do if the baby isn't coming out headfirst? What if the baby isn't breathing? What if the mother has a complication and requires medical assistance? There are too many factors in child birth to reliably say that any random 2 people on this earth would be able to deliver THAT many children in the video.

    If you're wondering about the Garden of Eden scenario, remember they lived around 700 years old then. It could be that the first time around the Genes we're cleaner and stronger. Whereas trying to do this again now, you'd be starting with the handicap of a greater history of less than describable mutations.

      The whole "Garden of Eden" senario is a misinformed concept.
      Adam and Eve where never the only people on Earth.
      Read Genesis 1 : 26
      "Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
      Then eventually in Genesis 2 we read about the creation of Adam and Eve.
      People where already on the planet.
      The difference is that Adam and Eve where made in God's image, in the Garden of Eden.
      The rest of the people where not.
      Adam and Eve didn't start having children until they where kicked out.

      @@Enderpig124 Thank you for that o: I love that. I heard a theory elsewhere that kind of fits with that that spoke of other more neanderthal people being around but it was specifically Adam that was the first human when God "breathed life" into him which meant he was the first neanderthal given a soul which created the first "Human." However on the outside the difference between these pre humans and the new human aren't really all that visible.
      i try to be careful with interpretations because I know that can be dangerous and misrepresenitive, but i really enjoy how that idea fit all the puzzle pieces together.

    I think one of the reasons there are not mutations from inbreeding such as in groups of chimps or a herd of other animals is that any defect the animal will be abandoned or killed. the same is true in humans where kids will bully another to death if they are not that smart or appear odd in the slightest way. then there is the attraction thing with all animals including humans that they want to pair up with the most perfect. so inbreeding mutations could occur constantly in the animal kingdom but they are rejected as mates and end up going into computer programming

  • @lukejones5272

    Very interesting. As far as Ellie and Aiden vs Adam and Eve, consider that genetic mutations occur over time (mentioned in the video), and that recessive, bad traits can hide in a population (also mentioned in the video), but the farther back you go (say 250 generations or 6000 years) there would be significantly fewer recessive bad traits and this whole scenario becomes a LOT more possible. Bottom Line: what is true about inbreeding or genetic likelihoods TODAY is NOT true of 6000 years ago. Yes I am talking about Adam and Eve.

The point is this: If they want to test if what the Bible says about is possible, they have to account for the context that claim is situated in. They would have to begin with its premises (perfect genetics and that timeframe) and go from there. If I was going to test if life from non-life was possible, I would start with the premises an atheist gave me, including the conditions etc.

    There are several mistakes in the genetics explanation in this video. For example, recessive ALLELES (there is no such thing as a recessive gene), are not necessarily rare. In fact, many recessive alleles are far more common than any of the dominant alleles for that gene. But even if a deleterious recessive allele was very rare in the original population, once you reduce the population to just two people, there are no rare alleles. Any allele that exists in the population must make up at least 25% of all alleles for that gene, since each gene will only have 4 copies left, and any existing allele has to be at least 1 of those 4 copies. That means that if either of the two original people carry one, it will likely become very common in their descendants. Even if only 1 of the 4 existing copies of a gene is deleterious, statistically, 1/2 of the people in the next generation are likely to carry it (it could be a larger or smaller proportion, since this is just a statistical probability, but something close to 1/2 is the most likely outcome). And if it’s recessive, you would know it was even there until the 3rd generation, when about 1/4 of the offspring would show the deleterious trait.
    And everyone alive today carries lots of rare deleterious recessive alleles. The reason why few of our children show up with these traits is that each one is rare in a very large population, so the chance of having children with someone who also carries that allele is very small, unless you’re closely related. But once the population is reduced to just two people, every deleterious recessive allele carried by either of the two people will instantly make up 1/4 of all alleles for their respective genes for the whole population. That means that starting with their grandchildren, you won’t just have individuals born with one deleterious trait, but likely several such traits together.
    But this isn’t actually the only biggest genetic problem in the long run, as long as each generation produces enough children, as it should be possible to selectively breed these alleles out of the population. The worse problem in the long term is that this population will have extremely low genetic variation, and selection against the deleterious alleles will reduce that variation even further. The result will be a population of people who will be almost genetically identical. Even if all that’s left are “good” alleles, the lack of variation will make the population as a whole very susceptible to environmental challenges, such as infectious diseases, etc. Any such threat to the population that one’s physical or physiological traits would be important to surviving would have a much higher likelihood of taking out the entire population.

      The need to 'cull' the defective children really is the worst part of this scenario, but i wonder how many generations down the line do you need to go for random generic mutations to produce a 'healthy' gene pool? Assuming enough culling is done to remove negative random mutations when they become aparrent.

      @Androctonus84 Год назад +16

      @@Sam24600 no, there isn’t. People often use the word “gene” incorrectly when what they mean is allele. Let’s look at a simple example in humans - earlobes. This is a physical characteristic with two possible traits: attached or free-hanging. This characteristic is controlled by just one gene. But that gene has two versions, and each version of a gene is called an allele. One version, or allele, of that gene is dominant (the one for free-hanging earlobes) and the other allele (the one for attached earlobes) is recessive. The gene itself is neither dominant nor recessive.
      For the same reason, there is generally no such thing as a rare gene, if we’re talking about human populations. All humans have the same set of genes. That’s what makes us all human. But we don’t all have the same alleles for all those genes, which is what makes each of us different from any other human. And for genes with more than one allele, some alleles are common and some may be rare. The difference in terms becomes important if you’re trying to understand what really happens in a scenario like the one in the video.

    When I was a kid we were given 2 guinea pigs, and they bred and continued to interbreed until we had a couple dozen. Then I gave my friend 2 of them and he ended up with dozens too....we both lived on farms so had room for large cages. The point is, mine ended up very much interbreed and his large numbers starting from 2 related interbreed animals, yet there was so much diversity in their colours and patterns and they didn't seem to be dying young.
    Maybe this is this the results of years of scientific experiments on guinea pigs, they've had all their genetic defects cured 😀
