The objective of this article is to identify and analyze the uses, meanings, and implications of the notion of ancestry in journals listed on the Capes Periodicals Portal, from the years 2003 to 2024. A systematic review was chosen, conducting the search for the articles to be investigated in two phases. The first phase occurred in November 2023 and the second in April 2024, with 327 documents included in the study. After analyzing each of them, five categories were constructed that express the context of the article and its approach, namely, i-Afro-Brazilian studies, ii-literary analysis, iii-studies of indigenous peoples, iiii-education, and iiiii-others. We also counted on a significant number of theoretical articles that use the concept of ancestry to rethink other epistemologies. It was found that the extensive material would require analyses not only conceptual but also temporal. The hypothesis that guided the research was that such mapping could provide us with clues about when and which usages of the term ancestry are most frequent, identifying the particularities. Finallu, the analysis also revealed a controversu regarding the political uses of the concept.
