First sentence: The anthropological study of kinship has been dominated by two central issues: 1) the relationships linking families to larger kinship groups that incorporate multiple families and endure longer than a single family; and 2) the relationships between kin ties and locality, that is, between "blood" and "soil" (Kuper 1982:72).
