Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?

  That low end of 100 would be with full eugenics. Selecting for genetic diversity, not for “hotness”.

  If you were selecting for that, it would mean less genetic diversity, you might start seeing problems within 5 generations.
