* A genetic bottleneck is simply when a population thins out extremely small then re-expands. The human race went through the "Great Bottleneck" based on DNA analysis. Evolutionists claim due to possibly a volcanic eruption-God tells from Flood waters.
"When the Neanderthal genome was sequenced, the African Bottleneck hypothesis became even more problematic. The evidence is clear: Neanderthal was fully human and inter-mated with Europeans and other people groups. This contradicts the evolutionary near-extinction hypothesis. According to the
evolutionary timeline, Neanderthal split away from the main human population about 400,000 years ago, but was somehow not part of the African near-extinction event. Neanderthal then reunited with the emerging human population, which was only recently coming out of Africa. If Homo sapiens went through a radical genetic reshaping in Africa, how could it remain inter-fertile with Neanderthal? And if Neanderthal, the Denisovans, and Homo erectus were outside the genetic bottleneck, then how can it be said that there was a real bottleneck?
However, from a biblical perspective there is no problem with a relatively homogeneous human population. We start with just two people (constituting an extreme, yet benign "population bottleneck"), and then 10 generations later a second, single-generation bottleneck of just 8 people occurred at the time of Noah. Both bottlenecks were very brief (just one generation) and were followed by explosive growth, and in both cases there would be almost no previously accumulated mutations, hence no inbreeding effects. Very limited human genetic diversity is a huge problem for evolutionary theory and leads to unrestrained storytelling (the evolution story needs to be revised almost annually). Yet limited human genetic diversity is very obviously compatible with the biblical perspective, and does not require any far-fetched mental inventions." JohnCater

1st Bottleneck:
And Adam called his wife's name Eve;
because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 3:20
2nd Bottleneck:
...when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is,
eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter 3:20
