4 people total? Yikes. Humanity is lost. That's a lot of inbreeding. I'd forfeit my spot for Jayne, and let him have choice of the willing. Because if it's the end of the 'verse as we know it, I'd rather shuffle off. Jayne for genetic purposes. Jayne's the biggest and toughest, most survivability. Zoe, Inara, and River would probably be the best bet. River would carry the intelligence, molding a new humanity with pseudo-psychic abilities and vast intelligence. Zoe would bring in more strength and toughness with a large heaping dose of agility. Inara would be the better choice than Kaylee. That much death and loss? She wouldn't be able to handle it. Inara would be able to teach the remnants of humanity diplomacy, empathy, understanding and the like.
But still. Only four people. It wouldn't take many generations before it turned ugly, even with careful breeding.

You never know. River's a genious. Maybe she'd find another populated 'verse for them to live in or maybe she'd discover a way to create new humans. I'd say with her, anything's possible.

We'd make beautiful babies.
Y'know, I hate to be a sh*t about all this, but given the minimum numbers required for minimal genetic diversity, well, 4 ain't near enough. Given that, I'd need Inara, and about 1,100 of her Companion sisters, just to have a chance of making a realistic go of continuing the human race.
And you, of course, Kaysky! And about 1000 friends of yours....

Hmm...I don't think I know 1000 whores. And besides if it's just you and 2002 women... I just don't think any man has that kind of stamina. It'd be fun to find out though. I'll still bring Simon and Mal. They can give you a break when you need it.

ooh, well the 'verse is about to cease to exist and we're somehow going to survive..okay.
*twg decides to use Cozen's reasoning of needing more than four people*
Simon, Mal, Inara, twg...and I would need all the men and women of FFF to join me. There are just soooo many intriguing men and women here that I think would be very useful in repopulating the earth. Okay, I'm just looking for a reason to get Static out of the clubhouse.

Well I'm a guy but we need Simon 'cause he's a doctor. So the other two better be women. Zoe because she's a smart, capable leader type and Kaylee because of her mechanical, practical smarts. Also a personality like hers would be helpful. Although the human race would be better off if I were replaced by Mal...or Book...or Wash...or maybe even Jayne.

Yeah, to be fair with the human race, I should probably volunteer to let someone else take my place too...

Freudian slip?
Anyway I would take Kaylee, Inara and Mal.
Kaylee - cause there have to be women to reproduce with and being unwed I wouldn't mind taking her in a manly fashion.
Mal - cause he's a survivor and good leader. If any of the crew could find their way through the apocalypse my bet is on Mal.
Inara - cause she's the expert on the act of breeding and we're gonna need that to start the human race over again. That or just for a fun way to pass the time

Maybe I won't invite you to my Repopulated the 'Verse party...well...okay I will, because I can't say no to my fellow FFFer. But you can't keep pointing out my funny typing mistakes, kay?
Shiny.
Remember, the Repopulate the 'Verse party is coveralls optional.
