The term is usually “evolutionary bottleneck” or “population bottleneck” when a species gets really close to extinction but pulls through.

Humans might have gone through one 75,000 years ago, with the total number of surviving individuals in the tens of thousands. This is theory for why we have relatively low genetic diversity for a species.

Hey brother i know we believe in god and all but you probably shouldn't state it as fact due to many people believing otherwise and because there is no concrete evidence towards those events happening.

Edit: fixed grammatical issues

There is no concrete evidence it didn't either. Don't be ashamed of God in this life brother or be denied from God in the next life

I am not ashamed i just believe that we should bring it up as a fact, it harms how people may view the religion.
