clans

Clans are groups of people who share a common ancestry, culture, or social identity. Traditionally, they are organized around family ties and can play a significant role in social structure, particularly in communities where lineage is important. Clans often have their own customs, traditions, and sometimes even territories. They can be found in various cultures around the world, such as Scottish clans, which are linked by family names and historical allegiances. In modern contexts, clans can also refer to groups formed for shared interests, especially in gaming and online communities.
