Abstract

The paper contains some field data from the Oraons and an attempt at the formalization of lineage relations. Starting with the title of the paper “The Elementary Approach on Segmentation of Lineage and Directed Straight Line segment: An Analogical perception of review study in Anthropology,” the purpose of the study simply wants to draw an abstract parallel between lineage relations and mathematical relations. There are sporadic references to Western scholars, including Harary & White’s “parental graph” and W.H.R. Rivers’s “genealogical method.” The study derives from “physics” and applies them to the anthropology of kinship for reasons that “Physics is the study of matter, energy and motion. Since everything in our world relates to these three basic subjects, physics can help understand many working system in the universe. All comes down to energy and matter.

Highlights

  • Analogy means the similar way of thinking on different subject

  • We endeavourer to discuss the study with the opinion of Brown of lineage or Agnate in Social Anthropology is consisted of a man and all his descendents through males for determinate members of generations

  • The actual lineage is consisting of living members, in a particular time and space

Summary

Introduction

Analogy means the similar way of thinking on different subject. Let A same as B but A not equivalent to B. Segmentation of lineage sometimes is followed the rules of directed straight line but they are not equivalent to each other, because magnitude, line support are not cleared in this subject. A minimal lineage includes three generations, and we can have lineages four or five or N generations He said further that “A linage group consists of all members of a lineage who are alive, at a particular time. Clan “as such the term by Brown”, is a group which, though not or demonstrably (by genealogies) a lineage, is regarded as being in some ways similar to lineage. It is consists of a number of actual lineage [1-7]
