    If you had to repopulate the earth from a mass population decline… Would cloning better or inbreeding?

    Cloning would avoid swiss cheese problems?

      If the total population of a species falls below a certain threshold, that species is doomed due to low genetic diversity.

      One last-ditch attempt would be to interbreed with a closely-related species, so the best (as in, has a .001% chance of working) option in this case might be to locate a willing chimp.
