Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A totem is a symbol or emblem of a clan's nonhuman apical ancestor, believed to have spiritual or supernatural powers. It is usually an animal or plant that has a special significance to the clan and is often depicted in their art and mythology. Ancestral worship and totemism are common in many indigenous cultures around the world. Tarawad, Sororate, Levirate, and Pater are all terms related to kinship systems and have no direct association with nonhuman apical ancestors or totems.
