Reply to comment by Robysto7 in [WP] Six adults are left to rebuild society: the nerd, the jock, the mean girl, the quiet person, the snob and the bossy guy. The rest of humanity is wiped. Somehow, these people managed to work together to re-build. Describe the journey. by Crystal1501

Still think there's a chance. Either my sister or my mum found out a while ago - which I just double checked myself - that all of humanity has a common female ancestor. If that's true, then humanity hasn't always had a deep gene pool, so it's possible six people could recover the species!

Ah! Mitochondrial eve. That has fallen out of favor in the past forty years.

Also the 50/500 rule would come into play
