A lineage-bonded society is, by population, the smallest classification of Acephalous Society. Beyond a certain size threshold, claims of common lineage become untenable, and the social ties resulting from those claims destabilize. A lineage-bonded society that outgrows its limits may break apart into subgroups. Such branches would then either become separate lineage-bonded societies, or would merge with a neighboring society. When two lineage-bonded societies merge in such a way, the outcome is a Land-bonded Society Lineage-bonded societies may harbor Secret Societies , or may be large enough to support Age Sets but can't sustain both secret societies and age sets, and cannot make the Transition To Statehood . These societies are similar to Band Societies . REFERENCES
