The statement that best describes the evolution of the traditions of inheritance in Europe from the early medieval period is:
At first land was divided between all sons and then it was given only to the first-born son.
This reflects the shift from more egalitarian practices in family inheritance to the practice of primogeniture, where the first-born son inherited the majority or all of the family land, which became common in later medieval society.
