DEFINITION (1): Descent refers to relatedness based on common ancestry (Barnard, Spencer,p.230).
DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal
DEFINITION WRITER: Deligiannidou Maria
DEFINITION COMMENTS: Actual biological relationships... in a population may well extend well beyond those that are popularly known and socially recognized. Because of its cultural loading, descent is essentially a social concept, and varies widely in significance in different societies. In Western industrial societies in general, except at the level of “race” and in other rather specialized circumstances, descent is not a very significant principle of social organization. In traditional societies, however, it is often extremely important (Barnard & Spencer 2002: 230). -Barnard A. & Spencer J., 1996. Encyclopedia of social and cultural anthropology, Reprint 2002.
