problem in the epsiode

Maybe they weren't like rabbits...once there was a good population and genetic diversity...things slowed down.

Agreed. Once you reach the point where you no longer need to reproduce for survival, things most likely slowed down and the more "traditional" family started showing up.

I think it was a bit unfortunate they didn't implement some mass breeding policy. From a communitarian perspective there is no good excuse for first generation fertile females like Wray not reproducing. She should really have taken one for the team.

Again from a communitarian perspective it's very unsetteling to see such discrepancies in reproduction rates, I mean who did the offspring of Greer and Park end up having sex with exactly??

[Trinary]

My guesses is pollution was dictating the human population growth. In fact, it also given similar effect to animals population growth too.

Probably, the same thing happened at Novus.

There was a lot of people with Asian features in Common Descent. I know Eli and Barnes (does anyone know who this is??) had some kids, but I'm more than sure that Wray "did her duty" for the sake of the colony. She did say that she already has a soul mate (on Earth), so we know she's not too interested in hooking up with anyone else, but that doesn't mean she didn't pop out a few for the sake of the colony.

Park is asian. Wray, to the best of our collective knowledge, did not have any kids. Especially since they didn't show her giving birth as they did with all of the other important cast members. Cuold also attribute to why she outlasted all of the others.

Are you asking who's Barnes? I believe she was first seen in "Pain", and this season at least one time working with the stones.

Go back 30 generations and you will find you have more ancestors than people that where alive at the time.

We are the product of ALOT of Incest.

I would argue your point, but seeing as my great grandparents immigrated from Wales, I'd have to agree. That is one eff'ed up language they have that could ONLY come from inbreeding!

JUST KIDDING!!!!

[Yipikyyaysupremecommanderthor]

remember their has to be a large enough population to prevent incest and genetic degradation ussually close to 500 for that many generations and last time i checked they're wasnt even close to that on destiny alone so yes everyone of those people on novus could actually call each other cousin

I have two names for the OP (if one chooses to believe such superstitions):

Adam and Eve

We went from 2 people, to a population of BILLIONS.

Surely 70-80 people can achieve a few hundred MILLION?

Metaphore dude. Metaphore. The creation stories in Gensis are not to be taken as fact.

good luck with that one - i do in fact have a friend who believes it literally. same with moses living what... 400 years? on which note - if you follow the superstition involved as fact, it could explain why we're so short-lived today. lots and lots of incest, shortening our lives. we're just at the point where it's either shorter lives or genetic mutations, and mutations win out for some reason

Keeper,

I'm a Christian but I am most definately not a young Earth Creationist evangelical. They make my brain hurt.
