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.
I don’t like making presumptions but I’ve heard it from all sorts of people
Maybe a cultural or regional thing? Or is it related to a hobby or something? I can’t think of a single time I’ve heard this phrase in normal conversation.
I found it on this very lemmy community a couple days back. It’s why I posed this question
