Why kinship is considered an invention

Kinship as an invention

The role kinship played in late nineteenth-century was by the new interpretation of the invention of Kinship by Thomas Trautmann. According to him, it was the evolution of humanity, and the necessities of the society that were in need for kinship, to meet the evolution therefore, considering it an invention of humanity to fill the vacuum. To understand the nature of kinship, and why it is an invention, it is essential to understand the details and everything that concerns it. The picture becomes clearer once everything has an evaluation related to kinship (Barnes, J.A. Pp. 296-299).

Kinship

A relationship between any entities through historical, biological, or cultural descent that share a genealogical origin is Kinship. People related both, by marriage and include descents in anthropology of the kinship system while including mating and descent in its usage in biology. Consanguinity is the relations through descent in contrast to affinity which is relations through marriage in human kinship; in common descent marriages, the two may overlap. One of the most basic principles that organize individuals into genealogy, roles, social groups, and categories is Kinship, and allows the relations to be represented effectively and concretely like the differences between grandfather, mother and brother (Johansen, Pp. 33).

"Kinship system" as systemic pattern

“System of kinship” as a concept in the early 20th century, tends to dominate anthropological studies of kinship. Patterns of attitudes and behavior are constitutional in relations to the differences in terminology as seen by the ethnographies, as defined in anthropological texts of Kinship systems, and listed above for addressing others as well as referring to relationships. Patterns of marriage and strong relations between kinship categories, including restrictions on marriage, forms of marriage and cultural concepts of the boundaries of incest were, seemed in these patterns of kinship by many anthropologists (Fox, Pp. 12).

Evolution in the Kinship pattern

Construction of kinship evolutionary histories in the form of such constructions as to “systems” of kinship, a great deal of inference was undoubtedly involved in constructing a systemic pattern, which are largely invalid in subsequent work. Kinship care is an age-old, world-wide practice. Early examples of the raising of children by friends and family members can be found in the Bible and early mythological tales. Kinship care has been and continues to be a crucial aspect of First Nations culture (Bronislaw, Pp. 66).

Traditionally, there was no greater dishonor for an Aboriginal family than when it could not look after the younger members; when this was the case, the surrounding community stepped forward to share in the raising of the children. This responsibility of assuming the care of relatives' children was both implied and overtly stated in the oral traditions and teachings of most ...
