What is the difference between matrilineal and patrilineal societies?

One has to do with mothers and one has to do with fathers..... Breaking up the word in Matrilineal you have Matri mean Maternal and lineal meaning lineage. Lineage deals with your Kinship grouping, or family tree. In the United States, and many other countries, work as a Bilineal, bi meaning two or both, society which means that the baby who is born into a Bilineal society is considered a part of both the father and mother family lines. So in a Matrilineal society a baby born into this type of society will only have a family tree from his/her mothers' family line. Then for Patrilineal societies, breaking it up into two words meaning Paternal meaning father, and lineage, meaning family line, the baby will only be considered apart of his/her fathers' family line. In matrilineal and patrilineal societies there can sometime be a difference in how much power each parent has. But to answer your question the difference between a matrilineal and a patrilineal societies are what family line a child born into each society is considered a part of. The child can either be a part of the mothers' line (matrilineal) or the fathers' line (patrilineal) depending on the society.

In a matrilineal structure, descent and inheritance are traced through the mother's side of the family. In a bilateral structure, descent and inheritance are traced through both the father's and mother's sides of the family.

What is the difference between clan and lineage?

A lineage is a descent group that can demonstrate their common descent from a known apical ancestor. Unilineal lineages can be matrilineal or patrilineal, depending on whether they are traced through mothers or fathers, respectively. Whether matrilineal or patrilineal descent is considered most significant differs from culture to culture. A clan is a descent group that claims common descent from an apical ancestor (but often cannot demonstrate it, or "stipulated descent"). If a clan's apical ancestor is nonhuman, it is called a totem. Examples of clans are found in the Chechen, Chinese, Irish, Japanese, Polish, Scottish, Tlingit, and Somali societies. In the case of the Polish clan, any notion of common ancestry was lost long ago.
