if we dont have genetic diversity, then we eventually develop a genetic bottle neck, which lessons our ability to adapt to natural selection. say a crtain disease crops up that only affatcs people lacking gene "C". If we have a genetic bottleneck and nobody has gene "C", then the disease kills everyone and species dies.
