Blood type as a (basic) tool ?

[gıulıoımpa]

I Always wondered, right now we have DNA tests, and companies like Ancestry and 23 and me.
But before all of that, excluding genealogy studies, has Blood type been used to explain Ancent migrations, and to prove original belonging to external populations, at least in an european context? ( Basques ?)

Are Blood types in specific places not mixed to such an extent that having a blood type rather than another one means or can tell something o about ancestry with a certain precision?
or is there enough of a mix that any possible information is null and not conclusive?

Interesting question. I always wondered myself.

From my memory, the A type peaks in west Europe and B in east Europe. Probably wrong though

[Teucer]

Overall I think it is insignificant. For example, Blood type A peaks in Cyprus and Norway, yet they are very unrelated populations

[GiCa]

Yes.

My blood, the type B is East Asian or Eurasia, and it marks their migration of those people more west

B is East Asian

I think you are right , jumping from thread to thread about bloodtype (there are not so many of them actually) i seem to recall Czech, Polish, and Russian people together with central asians and Thai's to have mostly B type.
however it would be necessary to know the margin of homogeneity among those "more frequently" occuring types and populations.

[GiCa]

And other blood type system Misure other genes for the blood. Those are irrelevant to blood donation so they are not misure at birth

[Teucer]

All blood types can be found among all ethnicities. They are universal, and because they are universal, are not good indicators of ancestry

Well, being a B myself i would not mind being a discendent of that actual guy.
I mean, look at him, he's majestic AF.

I am B+ . What about '' O '' type ones ?

[Teucer]

Me too!

Group O seems to be common with native americans, which is weird since a lot of central asians have B.

seems to be pretty common for greeks right? since i have it too it may be because my paternal family is from Naples. looking forward to a dna test

Greeks? You must be new to TA. We are Hellenized Levantines

[gıulıoımpa]

i am , in fact. haha. did not mean to offend you with my lack of knowledge.


only if you want, just out of curiosity, can i know how much mainland greek, generally a cypriot scores in Ancestry test? i assume around 25/30 percent, maybe less?

Ahaha no no no! I was making a joke at my expense, because on TA most consider Cypriots Hellenized Levantines, not Greeks. No offence at all mi amico.

Those figures sound about right, but I think it is more. Mainland Greeks differ more because of higher amounts of Northern European dna they received from the Middle Ages

My blood is O+ but I don't think blood types tell you much about your ancestry

[Peterski]

That is outdated knowledge, now we know that blood type B came with Indo-Europeans:

yeah...you know until i have a dna test, i wanted to have something to research about lol, btw a lot of people in other threads seemed to underline The Rh factor more rather tham the bloodtype in itself.

the lietmotif was Rh - = Cromagnonid european master race.

[Peterski]

Rh- was common among WHG but also among Indo-Europeans. Check the links in my previous post.

Looks like Hylates and I are descended from Dorians :rolleyes:

I'm B+...so basically i'm an invader from the steppes right? :fhhorse: ha, i got it right.

thanks for the link it has been the most explicative so far that i encountered. i was looking for something like that actually
