<p>In <a href="/wiki/Anthropology" title="Anthropology">anthropology</a>, <b>kinship</b> is the web of social relationships that form an important part of the lives of all humans in all societies, although its exact meanings even within this discipline are often debated. Anthropologist <a href="/wiki/Robin_Fox" title="Robin Fox">Robin Fox</a> says that the study of kinship is the study of what humans do with these basic facts of life&#160;&#8211;&#32;<a href="/wiki/Mating" title="Mating">mating</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gestation" title="Gestation">gestation</a>, <a href="/wiki/Parenting" title="Parenting">parenthood</a>, <a href="/wiki/Socialization" title="Socialization">socialization</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sibling" title="Sibling">siblingship</a> etc. Human society is unique, he argues, in that we are "working with the same raw material as exists in the animal world, but [we] can conceptualize and categorize it to serve social ends."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> These social ends include the socialization of children and the formation of basic economic, political and religious groups. </p><p>Kinship can refer both to the patterns of social relationships themselves, or it can refer to the study of the patterns of social relationships in one or more human cultures (i.e. kinship studies). Over its history, <a href="/wiki/Anthropology" title="Anthropology">anthropology</a> has developed a number of related concepts and terms in the study of kinship, such as <a href="/wiki/Descent_(disambiguation)" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Descent (disambiguation)">descent</a>, descent group, <a href="/wiki/Lineage_(anthropology)" title="Lineage (anthropology)">lineage</a>, <a href="/wiki/Affinity_(law)" title="Affinity (law)">affinity/affine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Consanguinity" title="Consanguinity">consanguinity/cognate</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fictive_kinship" title="Fictive kinship">fictive kinship</a>. Further, even within these two broad usages of the term, there are different theoretical approaches. </p><p>Broadly, kinship patterns may be considered to include people related by both <a href="/wiki/Lineal_descendant" title="Lineal descendant">descent</a> –&#160;i.e. social relations during development&#160;– and by <a href="/wiki/Marriage" title="Marriage">marriage</a>. Human kinship relations through <a href="/wiki/Marriage" title="Marriage">marriage</a> are commonly called "affinity" in contrast to the relationships that arise in one's group of origin, which may be called one's descent group. In some cultures, kinship relationships may be considered to extend out to people an individual has economic or political relationships with, or other forms of social connections. Within a culture, some descent groups may be considered to lead back to <a href="/wiki/Deity" title="Deity">gods</a><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> or animal ancestors (<a href="/wiki/Totem" title="Totem">totems</a>). This may be conceived of on a more or less literal basis. </p><p>Kinship can also refer to a principle by which individuals or groups of individuals are organized into <a href="/wiki/Social_groups" class="mw-redirect" title="Social groups">social groups</a>, roles, categories and <a href="/wiki/Genealogy" title="Genealogy">genealogy</a> by means of <a href="/wiki/Kinship_terminology" title="Kinship terminology">kinship terminologies</a>. <a href="/wiki/Family" title="Family">Family</a> relations can be represented concretely (mother, brother, grandfather) or abstractly by degrees of relationship (kinship distance). A relationship may be relative (e.g. a father in relation to a child) or reflect an absolute (e.g. the difference between a mother and a childless woman). Degrees of relationship are not identical to <a href="/wiki/Inheritance" title="Inheritance">heirship</a> or legal succession. Many codes of <a href="/wiki/Ethics" title="Ethics">ethics</a> consider the bond of kinship as creating obligations between the related persons stronger than those between strangers, as in <a href="/wiki/Confucianism" title="Confucianism">Confucian</a> <a href="/wiki/Filial_piety" title="Filial piety">filial piety</a>. </p><p>In a more general sense, kinship may refer to a similarity or <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/affinity" class="extiw" title="wikt:affinity">affinity</a> between entities on the basis of some or all of their characteristics that are under focus. This may be due to a shared <a href="/wiki/Ontology" title="Ontology">ontological</a> origin, a shared historical or cultural connection, or some other perceived shared features that connect the two entities. For example, a person studying the ontological roots of human languages (<a href="/wiki/Etymology" title="Etymology">etymology</a>) might ask whether there is kinship between the English word <i>seven</i> and the German word <i>sieben</i>. It can be used in a more diffuse sense as in, for example, the news headline "<a href="/wiki/Madonna_(entertainer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Madonna (entertainer)">Madonna</a> feels kinship with vilified <a href="/wiki/Wallis_Simpson" title="Wallis Simpson">Wallis Simpson</a>", to imply a felt similarity or <a href="/wiki/Empathy" title="Empathy">empathy</a> between two or more entities. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Biology" title="Biology">biology</a>, "kinship" typically refers to the degree of genetic relatedness or the <a href="/wiki/Coefficient_of_relationship" title="Coefficient of relationship">coefficient of relationship</a> between individual members of a species (e.g. as in <a href="/wiki/Kin_selection" title="Kin selection">kin selection</a> theory). It may also be used in this specific sense when applied to human relationships, in which case its meaning is closer to <a href="/wiki/Consanguinity" title="Consanguinity">consanguinity</a> or <a href="/wiki/Genealogy" title="Genealogy">genealogy</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Basic_concepts">Basic concepts</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kinship&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Basic concepts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Family_types">Family types</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kinship&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Family types"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Family" title="Family">Family</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Orthodox_priest_family.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Orthodox_priest_family.jpg/220px-Orthodox_priest_family.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="231" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Orthodox_priest_family.jpg/330px-Orthodox_priest_family.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Orthodox_priest_family.jpg/440px-Orthodox_priest_family.jpg 2x" data-file-width="913" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption>A multi-generational <a href="/wiki/Extended_family" title="Extended family">extended family</a> of <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Orthodox">Eastern Orthodox</a> priest in <a href="/wiki/Jerusalem" title="Jerusalem">Jerusalem</a>, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;">&#8201;1893</span></figcaption></figure> <p>Family is a <a href="/wiki/Social_group" title="Social group">group</a> of <a href="/wiki/People" title="People">people</a> affiliated by <a href="/wiki/Consanguinity" title="Consanguinity">consanguinity</a> (by recognized birth), <a href="/wiki/Affinity_(law)" title="Affinity (law)">affinity</a> (by marriage), or co-residence/shared consumption (see <a href="/wiki/Nurture_kinship" title="Nurture kinship">Nurture kinship</a>).

Kinship terminologies include the terms of address used in different languages or communities for different relatives and the terms of reference used to identify the relationship of these relatives to ego or to each other. </p><p>Kin terminologies can be either <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_description" title="Linguistic description">descriptive</a> or <a href="/wiki/Classificatory_kinship" title="Classificatory kinship">classificatory</a>. When a descriptive terminology is used, a term refers to only one specific type of relationship, while a classificatory terminology groups many different types of relationships under one term.

He concluded that, due to these unexamined assumptions, the whole enterprise of 'kinship' in anthropology may have been built on faulty foundations. His 1984 book <i>A Critique of The Study of Kinship</i> gave his fullest account of this critique. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Certainly for Morgan (1870:10) the actual bonds of blood relationship had a force and vitality of their own quite apart from any social overlay which they may also have acquired, and it is this biological relationship itself which accounts for what Radcliffe-Brown called "the source of social cohesion". (Schneider 1984, 49)</p></blockquote> <p>Schneider himself emphasised a distinction between the notion of a social relationship as intrinsically <i>given</i> and inalienable (<i>from birth</i>), and a social relationship as created, constituted and maintained by a process of interaction, or <i>doing</i> (Schneider 1984, 165). Schneider used the example of the citamangen / fak relationship in Yap society, that his own early research had previously glossed over as a <i>father / son</i> relationship, to illustrate the problem; </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>The crucial point is this: in the relationship between <i>citamangen</i> and <i>fak</i> the stress in the definition of the relationship is more on doing than on being. That is, it is more what the <i>citamangen</i> does for <i>fak</i> and what <i>fak</i> does for <i>citamangen</i> that makes or constitutes the relationship. This is demonstrated, first, in the ability to terminate absolutely the relationship where there is a failure in the doing, when the <i>fak</i> fails to do what he is supposed to do; and second, in the reversal of terms so that the old, dependent man becomes <i>fak</i>, to the young man, <i>tam</i>. The European and the anthropological notion of consanguinity, of blood relationship and descent, rest on precisely the opposite kind of value. It rests more on the state of being... on the biogenetic relationship which is represented by one or another variant of the symbol of 'blood' (consanguinity), or on 'birth', on qualities rather than on performance. We have tried to impose this definition of a kind of relation on all peoples, insisting that kinship consists in relations of consanguinity and that kinship as consanguinity is a universal condition.(Schneider 1984, 72)</p></blockquote> <p>Schneider preferred to focus on these often ignored processes of "performance, forms of doing, various codes for conduct, different roles" (p.&#160;72) as the most important constituents of kinship.

Father, mother and children are, however, also performatively related through the giving and receiving of "nurture" (fitezana). Like ancestry, relations of "nurture" do not always coincide with relations by birth; but unlike ancestry, "nurture" is a largely ungendered relation, constituted in contexts of everyday practical existence, in the intimate, familial and familiar world of the household, and in ongoing relations of work and consumption, of feeding and farming.

Holland points out that the biological theory (see <a href="/wiki/Inclusive_fitness" title="Inclusive fitness">inclusive fitness</a>) only specifies that a statistical relationship between social behaviors and genealogical relatedness is a criterion for the <i>evolution</i> of social behaviors. The theory's originator, <a href="/wiki/W._D._Hamilton" title="W. D. Hamilton">W. D.

Holland reviews fieldwork from social mammals and primates to show that social bonding and cooperation in these species is indeed mediated through processes of shared living context, familiarity and <a href="/wiki/Attachment_theory" title="Attachment theory">attachments</a>, not by genetic relatedness <i>per se</i>. Holland thus argues that both the biological <i>theory</i> and the biological <i>evidence</i> is nondeterministic and nonreductive, and that biology as a theoretical and empirical endeavor (as opposed to 'biology' as a cultural-symbolic nexus as outlined in Schneider's 1968 book) actually supports the <i><a href="/wiki/Nurture_kinship" title="Nurture kinship">nurture kinship</a></i> perspective of cultural anthropologists working post-Schneider (see above sections). Holland argues that, whilst there is nonreductive compatibility around human kinship between anthropology, biology and psychology, for a full account of kinship in any <i>particular</i> human culture, ethnographic methods, including accounts of the people themselves, the analysis of historical contingencies, symbolic systems, economic and other cultural influences, remain centrally important. </p><p>Holland's position is widely supported by both cultural anthropologists and biologists as an approach which, according to Robin Fox, <i>"gets to the heart of the matter concerning the contentious relationship between kinship categories, genetic relatedness and the prediction of behavior"</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-RF2012_57-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RF2012-57"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Evolutionary_psychology">Evolutionary psychology</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kinship&amp;action=edit&amp;section=23" title="Edit section: Evolutionary psychology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Evolutionary_psychology" title="Evolutionary psychology">Evolutionary psychology</a></div> <p>The other approach, that of Evolutionary psychology, continues to take the view that genetic relatedness (or <a href="/wiki/Genealogy" title="Genealogy">genealogy</a>) is key to understanding human kinship patterns. In contrast to Sahlin's position (above), Daly and Wilson argue that "the categories of 'near' and 'distant' do not 'vary independently of consanguinal distance', not in any society on earth." (Daly et al. 1997,<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> p282). A current view is that humans have an inborn but culturally affected system for detecting certain forms of genetic relatedness. One important factor for <a href="/wiki/Sibling" title="Sibling">sibling</a> detection, especially relevant for older siblings, is that if an infant and one's mother are seen to care for the infant, then the infant and oneself are assumed to be related. Another factor, especially important for younger siblings who cannot use the first method, is that persons who grew up together see one another as related. Yet another may be genetic detection based on the <a href="/wiki/Major_histocompatibility_complex" title="Major histocompatibility complex">major histocompatibility complex</a> (See <a href="/wiki/Major_Histocompatibility_Complex_and_Sexual_Selection" class="mw-redirect" title="Major Histocompatibility Complex and Sexual Selection">Major Histocompatibility Complex and Sexual Selection</a>).

An explanation is that kinship does not form clear boundaries and is centered differently for each individual. In contrast, descent groups usually do form clear boundaries and provide an easy way to create cooperative groups of various sizes.<sup id="cite_ref-Oxford2007_60-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Oxford2007-60"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to an evolutionary psychology hypothesis that assumes that descent systems are optimized to assure high genetic probability of relatedness between lineage members, males should prefer a patrilineal system if paternal certainty is high; males should prefer a matrilineal system if paternal certainty is low. Some research supports this association with one study finding no patrilineal society with low paternity confidence and no matrilineal society with high paternal certainty.
