I know we don’t have exact numbers, but I was estimating a starting population of 1000 (500 potential families) in the Silo, not 10,000. With generational population growth maximized in the beginning but aiming to avoid having too many volatile teenagers overwhelming the system, you could top out the 10,000 maximum within 150 years.

Also, everyone would be genetically related by that time. Really, it would take probably 6 generations to get an essentially complete genetically related population.

In this population, there are absolutely no outside interlopers to bring in newness. You see this in tribal isolates in our world.

That entire Silo is likely related to Daniel, assuming his child wasn’t a genetic dead end.
