AbstractDevelopmental research characterizes even the youngest learners as critical and selective, capable of preserving or culling cultural information on the bases of informant accuracy, reasoning, or coherence. We suggest that Richerson et al. adjust their account of social learning in cultural group selection (CGS) by taking into consideration the role of the selective learner in the cultural inheritance system.

What is the evolutionary significance of the various mechanisms of imitation, emulation and social learning found in humans and other animals? This paper presents an advance in the theoretical resources for addressing that question, in the light of which standard approaches from the cultural evolution literature should be refocused. The central question is whether humans have an imitation-based inheritance system—a mechanism that has the evolutionary function of transmitting behavioural phenotypes reliably down the generations. To have the evolutionary power of an inheritance system, an imitiation-based mechanism must meet a range of demanding requirements. The paper goes on to review the evidence for and against the hypothesis that there is indeed an imitation-based inheritance system in humans.

The Sai Batin indigenous people use the “jujur” form of marriage the male majorate inheritance system, a system in which the oldest son is entitled to all inheritance and is the successor of their descendants. So strong is the position of sons in the family that if a family does not have a son, then the family is considered as having no or broken offspring. For this reason, in the Sai Batin kinship system, the adoption of a son, either from an internal or external family, is an alternative solution. This research is qualitative research using the Islamic Law Anthropology approach. In the data collection stage, the writer used the dept-interview technique combined with a survey. This research concludes that although most of the Sai Batin tribes still adhere to the customary inheritance system, however, there has been a tendency to no longer use customary law, especially in matters of inheritance, because it is considered unfair. This is indicated by the tendency of parents to bequeath property to all their children through a grant mechanism or to distribute inheritance based on Islamic inheritance law. This change is influenced by many factors, including the most dominant factors are education, economy, and social interaction.
