Boom & Bust is one aspect. But the other aspect is migration into new environments. This is where a larger population is good, because there are more individuals (and genetic combinations) which, at any timepoint, can be tested in the new environment.
Environmentally, we're moving towards homogenous environments. Economically, we're creating more and more ways by which a family can thrive, and we have more genetic variants being tested in those environments.
