In many posts throughout this forum it has been suggested that if the Noachian flood was worldwide we should see genetic bottlenecks in all the species worldwide. It has also been suggested that the flood presented in Genesis represents a local flood, so therefore the lack of a bottleneck present in all species does not falsify the idea of a local flood. My question is would a local flood also leave a genetic marker of a bottleneck for the species within the locally defined area? If so, is this what we actually see when we compare the genetic signatures of animals indigenous to the area? Obviously I think we would have to consider just how local of a flood we are talking about. What is our minimum threshold where we should see some sort of marker contained within various species genetics?
