edit: The reason I find it an odd term is because human ancestry literally doesn’t follow a line. It always branches off, even if only to just include two parents. It’s a tree like structure, a line would misrepresent it

    Who is actually using this term? I’ve only heard it in like medieval period fiction.

    If I heard anyone start rambling about their bloodline I would immediately start to wonder if they were a fascist.
