If you read "Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity" as eugenics and genocide, I think you might be jumping the gun a bit based on personal biases. Population bottlenecks require you to be very careful about species-wide gene pools. In a population of 10,000, you don't want Cletus reproducing with his first cousin.
