Blood Type Diversity Europe

[Northern_Sun]

I would like to start a poll and discussion on Blood Types, as it is an interesting way to study human diversity without the bias of phenotype or race.

The common Blood Groups are: O+ , O- , A+ , A- , B+ , B- , AB+, AB-

There are other blood groups but they are anomalies so I am just listing them as other.

Although almost any of the world population can have a certain blood type some are more frequent if not exclusive to certain inhabitants. For example, O- is found in large percent in the Basque population of Spain and France, Rh Positive B is found in the highest percent in Asians,while its counterpart Rh Negative B is found almost solely in Europeans.

The Rh negative trait is almost exclusive to European populations, A – and B – , it is also found as a silent allele in 40-45% of Rh Positive Europeans. Early European population was found to have a very high Rh Negative frequency which makes this mutation of European origin.

Take into consideration that most populations have migrated and mixed (even with other European populations) at some point in time.

If you have any questions about the origins or distributions please let me know.

If you can add any new finding to this it would be great to expand our current knowledge! Thanks! up

Dad is A+, mom is O-, sister O+

[Northern_Sun]

Mine is A+ as well.

Blood type A is most common to Scandinavians. Some articles state there is a large percent of this blood in Australian aborigines , but fail to mention that theirs has a different mutation and is not related to European A.
