Wikipedia

  1. Patrilineality

    Patrilineality, also known as the male line, the spear side or agnatic kinship, is a common kinship system in which an individual's family membership derives from and is recorded through their father's lineage. It generally involves the inheritance of property, rights, names, or titles by persons related through male kin. This is sometimes distinguished from cognate kinship, through the mother's lineage, also called the spindle side or the distaff side. A patriline ("father line") is a person's father, and additional ancestors, as traced only through males. Traditionally and historically people would identify the person's ethnicity with the father's heritage and ignore the maternal ancestry in the ethnic factor.

  1. Patrilineality

    Patrilineality is a system in which an individual belongs to his or her father's lineage. It generally involves the inheritance of property, names, or titles through the male line. A patriline is literally a father line; one's patriline is one's father and his father and his father... and so on. Adjective forms are patrilineal, "agnatic" and "male-line". One's patriline is thus a record of descent from an ancestor to a descendant in which the individuals in all intervening generations are male. In cultural anthropology, a patrilineage is a consanguineal male and female kin group, each of whose members is descended from the common ancestor through male forebears. A person's family name and a man's genetic Y-DNA have descended down this same line from father to son. In a patrilineal descent system, an individual is considered to belong to the same descent group as his or her father from which the members' family name is commonly derived, although matrilineality has also been used as the descent group in some cultures. An agnate is one's genetic relative, male or female, exclusively through male ancestors.
