Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Inca civilization in Peru had a system of parallel descent where both the mother's and father's lines were considered equally important. Inheritance followed these parallel lines, with each child inheriting from both their mother and father's sides. This is different from a patrilineal or matrilineal system where inheritance only follows one specific line. The Jivaro and Kwakiutl societies also had unique kinship systems, but they were not based on parallel descent. The Dinka of Sudan had a patrilineal system.
