Ok so civilizations was pretty much destroyed 97 years ago and then a new race or culture of people started coming up known as the grounders. Obviously some humans which lead to the grounders but apparently in 97 years a whole entire new race of people is born, they have their own culturs, there are 12 clans and the population ( is unknown) but is obviously really huge as there has been large ammounts of grounders seen. My point is how does something like this happen? Just think about it. There are 12 clans or 12 grounder civilizations, grounders have their own culturs, they have there own language, and they literally know nothing about earth before the rest of the civilizations were destroyed. How does this happen in 97 YEARS????? I could see how population would grow if some humans survived but I don't think they would so be different from the previous humans, like theyd probally still speak english, and have the same cultures. Also 3 generations passed on the ark, so 3 generations must have passed on earth, for the grounders to reproduce and get to the high population they have now, new culture, new languages, then it would have to take FOREVER. Just think about it. seems like a plot error in my opinion
