Is 800 humans enough to restart civilization ?
I'm doing some brainstorming for very very deep lore in a story I'm writing, and I want to have it so the apparent *fantasy* world it is has a surprising sci-fi origin where humans came out of futuristic cradle facilities during the Stone Age. I'm thinking there would be 13 facilities across the world, with 800 individuals in each, for a total of 10,400 humans across the world.
Considering these 13 "clans" would barely interact with one another for centuries or even millenia as they develop into new cultures, would 800 be enough for them ? Or would it lead to genetic issues like inbreeding, genetic drift (which I don't understand, if anyone can explain that, thanks) ?\
It's just that the number "813" comes back often in my writing as an easter egg, I always try to hide it in very very small and smart ways where you have to know it's there to see it. Kinda like "A113".
