If you open your mind to the idea that you do inherit the merits of your ancestors because DNA matters and property rights don't cease with death, you could try to understand a model in which individuals don't matter that much but actual families, bloodlines, are what define human societies.
In that worldview, you don't need to INDIVIDUALLY deserve anything, your family of which you are just a cog of does.
Blood is thick and matters more than everything else for people who didn't forget the lessons of history.
And blood is what gives you a right to citizenship.
Ius sanguinis.
