What's the minimum human population required to prevent inbreeding, assuming it's an integrated community?

2.
Inbreeding is an issue only if you are not willing to kill the deformed and inferior.
And soon enough, 1, once the artificial womb is ready.

I read somewhere that to keep deformities to a acceptable rate, the lowest amount would be 20. I have no idea if that's 10/10 or some other ratio however.
Some kind of breeding system would also need to be constructed of course.

The author here mentions an island that was populated using a 20 person 10/10 model, I believe this is what I read.
Basically, it would depend mainly on the amount of healthy/bad recessive genes each person had, but a low number can be achieved.
And if you decide to just live with an incredible amount of deformations, possibly resulting in the creation of a subhuman mutant species, you could go 2 as >>8109441 suggests.

why would it?

But if the woman is unlucky and keeps poping one deformed kid after another, since it's 9 months per kid, one day she will run out of time to have kids. It's too risky. Besides it must hurt like hell.

>why would it
because women have a limited number of offspring they can produce before they are infertile or die in childbirth
if you have a low number of breeding women, and the vast majority of their children are mongs like yourself, then the population is going to crash before the healthy children can get up to child-bearing age.

you know that number is more than 5 right?
>>8110750
oh my bad, I dont really pay attention to OP (he's kinda a fag tbqh)
I've heard 200 thrown around
To start out with?
And for how long, and what are the resources.
It's not a simple concept.
Not to mention issues with a certain % randomly developing mutagenic diseases.
technically the only diseases you need to worry about are those which prevent further breeding

I remember hearing someone mensioning your 2. or 3. gen cousin would be fine. So you could make a binomial based on this and it will take 2^4 people to complete a 2. gen. cousin breeding or 2^5 if 3. gen.
4 couples can avoid inbreeding until the time is for their grandchildren to breed.
If A, B, C, and D is a couple:
1. A B C D
2. AB BC CD AD
3. ABCD ABCD ADBC ADBC
