Definition:
|
A descent pattern based on ties traced through either the paternal or the maternal line.
|
Description:
|
In an ambilineal descent pattern, an individual may trace lineage through the matrilineage or the patrilineage (not both). In some societies, the association to maternal or paternal descent groups may vary by individual choice, usually depending upon the relative prominence or wealth of the two lineages.
