there are no descent groups
In the contemporary US, bilateral kinship is the most common type, where families trace descent and inheritance through both the mother's and father's sides. This allows for relationships to expand beyond the nuclear family and can include extended family members.
The loose, changeable kinship group formed by the principle of bilateral descent.
Bilateral kinship, which recognizes relatives on both the maternal and paternal sides, can create broad and flexible social networks, fostering cooperation and support among a wider array of relatives. In contrast, unilineal descent groups, which trace lineage through either the mother's or father's line, often provide more clearly defined roles and responsibilities within a specific lineage. The strength of each system depends on cultural context; in some societies, the flexibility of bilateral kinship may be advantageous, while in others, the stability and clear identity of unilineal descent may be more beneficial. Ultimately, neither is inherently stronger; their effectiveness varies based on social structure and cultural norms.
