You can't rebuild society with two people.

Everyone would be retarded and deformed in a couple generations. You need a very large number of people.

I could rebuild society philosophically but not materially.

I do not know how to build houses, weapons, or medical gear. So, the goal would be to scavenge as much as possible and center living around libraries to protect the knowledge of the past in the hopes that some future person could figure it all out.
If you want to ask me a question:

Studies I have read suggest at least around 100 individuals is required to restart a species.

Makes sense, because your kids mating and having kids would be a chromosome-ial mashup, lol.

Boyo you cant build a spear, i aint buying it. I cant even start a fire. You have to realize you have nothing, most of your time is gonna be spent looking for food and surviving

Imagine if you get an injury, then what?

For those rare people who know how to start a fire with nothing, there's an entire group of them who will suffocate/asphyxiate from not properly ventilating the fire inside their shelter.

you don't need a net you need large stones and you build an area they get trapped in.

For survival purposes, I did complete SERE.

It doesn’t make you an expert in the field, but I def feel like I would use a number of the skills I was introduced to there.

initially i said one person so moving a big stone by yourself would be hard

but since the scenario has been changed to 100 people it would be easier to accomplish this

What would I need a spear for? I’m sure I could make one. All you need are some snares to catch rabbit, you can make those out of small vines. I’d sharpen their bones for knives and I could use their guts inside a fish trap. I can also make a friction fire to cook.

It could be wildly inaccurate based on circumstances.

Of course there are a lot of variables that go into the survival of a species.

Jupiter in our own solar system, for example, plays a large role in life on Earth. We like to believe we understand what is required for life, we have no idea. Beyond an obscene amount of luck.

Nifty.

too much nonsense - just go to the left over industrial parks and walk up and smack a Canadian goose on the head with a big stick.
