Kinship systems are mechanisms that connect conjugal families (as well as individuals who do not live in families) in ways that affect the integration of the general social structure and improve the society's ability to reproduce itself.
Kinship is about sex and gender; sex reproduces and both sexes raise children.
It is about the family that is required to nurture and educate this child in the ways of its culture.
It is about inheritance and succession rules, which in this society are passed down through the female line.
It is about how larger groups are formed from family and descent rules to carry out other societal functions.

Some constants are biological, as we are born with them everywhere, while others are sociological, as a result of culture and its rules of human behaviour.
Biological factors are unchangeable: humans have two sexes, without which they and their societies would cease to exist.
Sociological factors are statistical: they may affect the majority of societies, but not all.
All of these variables are addressed by kinship.
This explanation can then be found in terms of the local logic of person equivalence within genealogical grids, or terms of group or category membership and marriage affiliation potential.

Women are the ones who bear the children. No man is capable of doing so.
Copulation implies cooperation between two people and, by extension, relationships between groups, at the very least the families of the man and the woman.
