A group of people who have a common ancestor may be called a "line of descent." In other contexts, a clan or a tribe may have, or claim to have, a common ancestor.

Also, it's called "monophyletic" (all members of a designated group are descendants of a common ancestor) members are more closely related to each other than to any member of any other clade.
