Original human, Bitcoin, or whatever goes instinct or, if a small percentage survives, it evolves to adapt to its new environment

that can be the case yes, w softforks, the base version should be still retrievable.. i think.. there's many people that stopped updating bitcoin core after v17 or so..
this also made me think, what if only one laptop survives that is running a hardfork.. we'll never know if someone alive around that time would ever be able to understand what's going on or to get to prior code or not..
Reminds me of the golden records in space. Imagine cavemen using that hard plastic device to hunt for food instead. 😆
