Patrilineality
It generally involves the inheritance of property, rights, names, or titles by persons related through male kin.In the first lines of the New Testament, the descent of Jesus Christ from King David is counted through the male lineage.This form of strict agnatic inheritance has been officially revoked in all extant European monarchies except the Principality of Liechtenstein.The fact that human Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) is paternally inherited enables patrilines and agnatic kinships of men to be traced through genetic analysis.Y-chromosomal Adam (Y-MRCA) is the patrilineal most recent common ancestor from whom all Y-DNA in living men is descended.
