For a while, but it would eventually either no longer be human or be incapable of surviving and/or breeding.
Every animal has a certain amount of genetic complexity, which contributes to the minimum population needed to make infinite population growth. Some species can actually clone themselves as their main means of reproduction, so that minimum population is One.
Humans are not that. I dont know how true it is, but the magic number I heard was 10,000. Any less than that and the lack of genetic diversity would eventually burn out the species.
