The human species could probably be sustained with even a small surviving population without scientific genetic intervention. In pre-history, there was a time where the entire human population was reduced to as few as 10,000 individuals worldwide due to climate change and other factors. Scientists know this because of markers and similarities on human genes genes from that time period. It's not ideal, but it could conceivably work. Hope we never have to find out.
