Specialty Definition: Inheritance

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

See also Biological inheritance and Inheritance (computer science) Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual. It has long played an extremly important role in human societies.

Both anthropology and sociology have made detailed studies in this area. Many cultures will have either patrilineal, also known as gavelkind, where only male children can inherit. Some cultures also employ matrilineal succession only passing property along the female line. Even more radical than patrelinial succession is the practice of primogeniture whereby all property goes to the eldest child, or often the eldest son. Conversly there are also systems where eveythng is left to the youngest child. Most modern states employ partible inheritance, whereby every child inherits equally. Many also have inheritance taxes, whereby a portion of any estate goes to the the government.

Employing differing forms of succession can effect many areas of society. Gender roles are profoundly affected by traditional inheritance laws. Primogeniture has the effect of keeping large estates united and thus perpetuating a single elite. With partible inheritance large estates are slowly divided among many decendents and great wealth is eventualyl diluted.

Devil's Dictionary

PROBOSCIS, n. The rudimentary organ of an elephant which serves him in place of the knife-and-fork that Evolution has as yet denied him. For purposes of humor it is popularly called a trunk. Asked how he knew that an elephant was going on a journey, the illustrious Jo. Miller cast a reproachful look upon his tormentor, and answered, absently: "When it is ajar," and threw himself from a high promontory into the sea. Thus perished in his pride the most famous humorist of antiquity, leaving to mankind a heritage of woe! No successor worthy of the title has appeared, though Mr. Edward bok, of The Ladies' Home Journal, is much respected for the purity and sweetness of his personal character.
