Okay, but that still isn't okay. The siblings fucked each other or their parents.

So, if everyone died, except for one man and one woman, should their children not procreate? Inbreeding is bad and gross, but when it's literally the only option...

If you don't have enough genetically distant members of a species, it's almost impossible to repopulate that species.

Estimates range between 98 people and 14,000 people as the minimum number

But these two were made by God, you'd think their genetics would be perfect. It would take quite some generations for genetic mutation to be significant

"Mutation" refers to passing down a gene you don't have. A copying error, basically.

One would hope Adam and Eve were passing down nothing but mutated genes.

[-] tagliatelle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

That's my point, there's no bad genes, and minor mutations over one generation generally don't make a big difference.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That is NOT how genetics work, Jesus Christ, you're talking about "genetic purity," not a good look.

we're talking about god, adam and eve, it's all fantasy
