<P> According to an evolutionary psychology hypothesis that assumes that descent systems are optimized to assure high genetic probability of relatedness between lineage members, males should prefer a patrilineal system if paternal certainty is high; males should prefer a matrilineal system if paternal certainty is low . Some research supports this association with one study finding no patrilineal society with low paternity confidence and no matrilineal society with high paternal certainty . Another association is that pastoral societies are relatively more often patrilineal compared to horticultural societies . This may be because wealth in pastoral societies in the form of mobile cattle can easily be used to pay bride price which favor concentrating resources on sons so they can marry . </P> <P> The evolutionary psychology account of biology continues to be rejected by most cultural anthropologists . </P> <P> As social and biological concepts of parenthood are not necessarily coterminous, the terms "pater" and "genitor" have been used in anthropology to distinguish between the man who is socially recognised as father (pater) and the man who is believed to be the physiological parent (genitor); similarly the terms "mater" and "genitrix" have been used to distinguish between the woman socially recognised as mother (mater) and the woman believed to be the physiological parent (genitrix). Such a distinction is useful when the individual who is considered the legal parent of the child is not the individual who is believed to be the child's biological parent . For example, in his ethnography of the Nuer, Evans - Pritchard notes that if a widow, following the death of her husband, chooses to live with a lover outside of her deceased husband's kin group, that lover is only considered genitor of any subsequent children the widow has, and her deceased husband continues to be considered the pater . As a result, the lover has no legal control over the children, who may be taken away from him by the kin of the pater when they choose . The terms "pater" and "genitor" have also been used to help describe the relationship between children and their parents in the context of divorce in Britain . Following the divorce and remarriage of their parents, children find themselves using the term "mother" or "father" in relation to more than one individual, and the pater or mater who is legally responsible for the child's care, and whose family name the child uses, may not be the genitor or genitrix of the child, with whom a separate parent - child relationship may be maintained through arrangements such as visitation rights or joint custody . </P> <P> It is important to note that the terms "genitor" or "genetrix" do not necessarily imply actual biological relationships based on consanguinity, but rather refer to the socially held belief that the individual is physically related to the child, derived from culturally held ideas about how biology works . So, for example, the Ifugao may believe that an illegitimate child might have more than one physical father, and so nominate more than one genitor . J.A. Barnes therefore argued that it was necessary to make a further distinction between genitor and genitrix (the supposed biological mother and father of the child), and the actual genetic father and mother of the child . </P>
