    • What are you on about? Names have nothing to do with genes!

      • Think about it. Only males have Y chromosomes. They get them from their fathers. In patrilineal kinship boys also get their last names from their fathers. I am only asking that you think thru this.

        • I don't need to think about it, I know all that, I just don't see the relationship to names which are a social construct, not a biological fact

          • In the case of the original question about married women using their husband's last names, patrilineal kinship is not relevant.
