Study of ancestors, family history and tracing lineage is called:
Study of ancestors, family history and tracing lineage is called:
- Genealogy is the systematic pursuit of the arrangement or charting of family lines, history, and ancestors. It is the combination of past records, memories handed down through the ages, and modern genetic knowledge to display how people are linked through the ages. It is derived from the Greek words "genea" meaning family or generation, and "logos" meaning knowledge or study.
- Genetics: This is the branch of biology focused specifically on genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. While it can support genealogical research (genetic genealogy), it is not the study of family history itself.
- Etymology: This is the study of the origin and history of words and how their meanings have changed over time.
- Gerontology: This is the multidisciplinary study of the aging process and the biological, social, and psychological changes that occur as people grow older.
