Your ancestry. Those you have descended from are your ancestors. My lineage includes my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., in my past, and my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. in my future.
The term meaning "a group of lineages" is a clan. A lineage is a group of families descended form a common ancestor.
What does Hadero mean when she uses the term, "sonic lineages". What does she describe as her own sonic lineages?
Lineages and clans are social structures that organize people based on shared ancestry and kinship. A lineage typically refers to a direct descent from a common ancestor, often tracking through generations. In contrast, a clan encompasses a broader group, often composed of multiple lineages, that may share a name or totem and a sense of collective identity. These systems play crucial roles in various cultures, influencing social organization, inheritance, and community ties.
Prokaryotes are not monophyletic because they include both bacteria and archaea, which are two distinct groups with different evolutionary histories. These two groups do not share a common recent ancestor, making prokaryotes a paraphyletic group.
similar structures arising independently in different lineages, convergent evolution among different lineages, and adaptation by different lineages to the same selective pressures

The traits are also found in many intervening lineages on the tree of life
The head monk of Tibetan Buddhism is the Dalai Lama. Each of the four major lineages (as well as some minor lineages) have their own head as well.

A branch point on a cladogram represents a common ancestor from which two or more evolutionary lineages diverge. It signifies a point in the evolutionary history where a lineage splits into two or more new lineages.
The similarities retained by two lineages due to their common ancestry are known as homologous traits or homologous characteristics. These traits arise from shared evolutionary origins and can be structural, developmental, or genetic in nature. Homology contrasts with analogous traits, which arise independently in different lineages due to convergent evolution.
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
