Patrilineal descent (theories or systems)


Explanation:
Wow, this was a tough one. The word does not have an equivalent in English, the nearest I found were these.

Page 66, "Norms of descent":

The description is identical to the Spanish one.

andro-centric theories of reproduction


Explanation:
I don't think matrilineal or patrilineal descent is the issue here, rather, folk beliefs that reproduction is due solely to the male consticbution, with the female seen as merely a vessel. It used to be believed that each sperm contained a 'homunculus'- a human being in miniature. I realise that andro-centric introduces a Greek rather than Latin etymology: maybe it should be contrasted with 'gynocentric' theories.

It seems they are all related to E.c. There are uxu and vir genes and they can take an additional, or two, letter. But that is how far I can go.
