Hi
​
I am a evolution enthusiast but I am struggling with one of the concepts.
​
When a species is isolated, goes through a bottle neck, or a small amount of one species is divided from the rest and branches into a new species, what prevents inbreeding having to much of a negative impact to the species survival?
​
Surely the time it takes variety in the smaller gene pool takes longer than it would for inbreeding to have an effect.
​
Educated researched answers please! No nonsense about this is a disproof of evolution, or half baked answers please!!
