Unilineal descent systems

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unilineal descent systems are found in about 45 percent of the world's cultures. The other options are incorrect. Unilineal descent systems do not necessarily include all biological relatives in the lineage group, as they only trace descent through one line (either the father's or mother's). There is no evidence that these systems are on the decline due to globalization. Finally, the emphasis on female roles and inheritance varies depending on the specific unilineal descent system.
