Im A-. Mother is O- and father is AB+

[Northern_Sun]

Northen_Sun i'd like to know more about AB+. I only know that it's the most rare + type, and it's universal reciver

AB+ is pretty rare! Between 1-3% of the world’s population has this type.

In Europe around 12% of Hungarians have this type.

You are also probably not Basque as the Basque have virtually no B or AB blood.

And it looks like Iberian Celts were found to have B and AB blood.

Your parents must have been either both AB, AB/B,AB/A, or A/B.

AB has both A and B antigens on red blood cells (but neither A nor B antibody in the plasma) so you can donate plasma to anybody.

Studies also showed that type A and AB have a higher risk of heart disease and high cholesterol due do the difference in blood vessels between the blood groups. In research group AB is also resistant to cholera due to its protein structure. On a microbiological note blood groups are very interesting.

I have sources for all this info from various books(not my head). If I find anything else that’s interesting in my books I will let you know!

I'm new and I was not aware of the previous thread. I was hoping that people might add some scientific/anthropological findings to this tread.

Thanks, i'm from the south-west of Spain. My father is B+ and my sister AB+. We have son "vasque" ancestry but very distant in the time

blood.

of course not, the blood of the Celtiberians were mostly O+ and O- in a lesser percentage.

[Vasconcelos]

Gallaecians were A+. If you say otherwise I'll butcher you.

Are you ethnically only Turkish? Your mom's blood type A-, is pretty rare and more common among Scandinavians and Finns.

I knew a half-Turkish guy he had really light blue eyes and was more European looking than some Greeks!

A- is common on my maternal side.
I am Turkish from both sides but blood type does not determine ancestry.

Phenotype does not equal genotype either. I know blond Euro looking Turks that plot more ''Eastward'' in DNA plots than Turks that physically look Near Eastern.

* O+ A+ B+ AB+ O− A− B- AB−

España 36% 34% 8% 2,5% 9% 8% 2% 0,5%

may be true, but my exgf from Galicia was O+

In any case, A+ maybe (The Celts)

[Northern_Sun]

of course not, the blood of the Celtiberians were mostly O+ and O- in a lesser percentage.

I'm only stating things from research. That information can be found in the book

A natural history of man: a biologist's view of: birth and death

Where is your source from out of curiosity?

[Damião de Góis]

Sure, also the Celtici were all A+ and R1b1b2a1a2
