Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passing on of land rights through descent groups is a characteristic of nonindustrial food producing societies, which rely on agriculture and herding for subsistence. Large game hunting and foraging societies typically do not have permanent settlements or agricultural lands, making the inheritance of land rights irrelevant. Reciprocity and redistribution are modes of exchange, not necessarily tied to land ownership.
