Reply to comment by wagner56 in What's your estimation for the minimum size of global population required for preserving modern civilization with advanced technology and medicine, and even progressing further? by Evgeneey

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

a look at all the supply chains and the specialists to maintain them might be a start

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
