David: If you are referring to Noah and family, that is a tiny gene pool to restart a race of humans. > > Tony: No matter which theory you follow, evolution, special creation, flood or no flood, the Gene Pool always starts tiny. In fact, every single act of speciation, according to evolution, would have to start a new tiny gene pool.-Good point, but, if Noah and family, that is a very small interrelated pool likely to produce bad results, first cousin crosses, etc.-On the other hand small starts are true:-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150519121901.htm-But this doesn't tell us about the variety of genes in the females they mate with. These are still outcrosses and protective of poor results.
