Please see the scripture in post 19. Chimps are clean animals so they were taken by sevens, male and female. So there were 14 Chimps, not 2.
Likewise there were 3 breeding couples of humans. Noah and his wife had only three sons so his (and her) genes are represented in each of those couples. So you really only have the genetic makeup of one family and 3 other people. (who as noted in later posts were probably closely related anyway)

Good catch on the sevens, I missed it and that was my post.
But I don't think the "sevens" can mean "seven pairs" any more than the "twos" mean "two pairs." If the chimps are "clean animals," then there were seven of them in that story, not fourteen.
