Lineage

While the above details all define the broad evolutionary path of the defining features of a character's race, family lineage is a more specific evolutionary influence that has been passed down through the generations of a particular family that the character belongs to.

Like with culture and society, these are not genetic influences, because not enough time passes for evolution to take place in a single family, but rather the values and traditions that are passed down from one generation to the next, that have a lasting impact on the character's development.
