Describe how brahmanism (vedic religion) evolved into hinduism during this era. what factors contributed to this development?
ddd [48]

Brahmanism is a religion of transition between the Vedic religion (completed around the 6th century BC) and the Hindu religion (which began around the third century AD).

According to other authors, Brahmanism (or Brahmanical religion) is the same as Vedicism (or Vedic religion).

Maybe since the 4th century BC C. began to know the Upanishad, which were stories (written by Brahmins) where a Brahmin teacher taught his disciple about a unique God who was superior to the Vedic gods. They preferred meditation to opulent animal sacrifices and the ritual consumption of the soma psychotropic drug.

The Brahmins became the sole repositories of knowledge about the unique Brahman (the formless Divine, generator of all gods). There were no longer Chatrías who had spiritual knowledge, but had to become disciples of a Brahmin at some point in their lives.

From the third century or II a. C. they began to recite everywhere the extensive poems Majábharata and Ramaiana as well as the doctrinal treatises (agamas) of the different dárshanas (religious schools) that constitute a body of knowledge that has endured throughout history and has more than 280 million faithful.

MariettaO [177]

A descent group formed by members who believe they have a common (sometimes mythical) ancestor is an option b, clan.

A clan refers to a group of people sharing descent or kinship. It claims lineage from a founding member even if the lineage detail is not specified clearly. In indigenous societies, clans are endogamous. The descendants share a symbol of unity which represents the founding member as head of that lineage.

It is most common in social society and remains a close-knit organization, contrary to political and governmental organizations. Clan exists in various types such as tribes and bands. For instance, Zoque in Mexico and Igbo in Africa are two old tribes that have maintained their close-knit organization to the present time.
