It’s only 132 currently unrelated people to meet the biological requirement for genetic diversity.

Obviously you couldn’t run ‘modern society’ and or ‘industry’, ‘medicine’, etc., but humanity could survive with that small of a population.

thts a minimum with no redundancy

youd want at least a 1000% redundancy

economy of scale comes into the modern sustaining the high tech and if you chop that out they are no longer viable

likewise with enough scale cuts basics start failing as well
