Clan structure

A clan structure is a social organization where members are grouped based on kinship, lineage, or shared ancestry. It typically involves extended family networks that collaborate for mutual support, identity, and preservation of traditions. Clans often have leaders or elders who guide and make decisions for the group. This structure helps maintain social cohesion, manage resources, and navigate conflicts within the community. While historically prominent in many cultures, modern clan systems may vary in form but still emphasize kinship ties and collective identity.
