Unless they are actually doing these things aboard the spacecraft, in an environment similar to that which they are headed towards, they might possibly have theoretical knowledge but they are going to lack experience. I could explain until I'm blue how to tie one's shoelaces, but if the person I'm explaining it to doesn't actually try to do it, they won't internalize the knowledge. | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 9:37 | comment | added | Kilisi | @Flummox sorry, these are stories told in villages, not something I have seen written down. The darker stories weren't usually shared with outsiders who'd write them down, makes us look bad. So they're sugar coated for outsiders. But you're right, by ten years old most island kids are totally capable of doing everything from cultivating the land to cooking food, because they start learning to do those chores from a young age. Documented though is many NZ Maori massacres and legends. Even the Bligh mutineers populated their island from I think less than 15 people with descendants still living. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 9:27 | comment | added | Flummox uses codidact.com | @Kilisi, I love to read up on that! Do you have a link? These kids at least have culture and language with some other skills they may have picked up from their surroundings. It will be interesting to see what is needed for these kids to survive. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 8:33 | comment | added | Kilisi | those are single children, I'm in the Pacific we have legends of small groups surviving including bands of kids who survived massacres. These are not feral kids, they have had nurturing and support of a sort for ten years, they have their peers as well. It won't be easy, but no need for them all to die. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 8:29 | comment | added | Flummox uses codidact.com | They die. With out care humans don't do well. We are very social creatures and without a culture around us we are doomed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | Kilisi | @MichaelKjörling 'The landing site was carefully selected' This implies that most of those issues are already taken care of. You don't carefully select a site for permanent settlement unless you can live off it. There is no mention of bringing farming gear and seeds. | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 8:14 | comment | added | user | IMO each of the questions in the last paragraph would be reasonably scoped. All of them together makes this question too broad. See for example Would humans be able to derive nutrition from foodstuffs found on alien planets? and What is the minimum human population necessary for a sustainable colony? and almost certainly a handful of other questions already asked and thoroughly answered. | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 7:58 | comment | added | Secespitus | A couple of ten year old kids won't survive for long. They can't resonably hunt anything and they wouldn't know how to do this anyway, as nobody ever showed them how to hunt. To help you with the genetic diversity we would need to know how many kids you have on that planet. But the kids being kids they won't be able to reproduce, as they will all be dead the moment the machines stop working. | |
