Question

Are certain blood groups and rhesus +/- more prevalent amongst certain races. And race be determined by group?

Answer 1

Yes, The Europeans have the vast majority of the worlds cases of rhesus negative blood, with the Basque people having the highest incidence of all, about 30%. You hardly ever see rhesus negative blood other than in Europeans.

Most native Americans are type O, Europeans are more commonly type A, and type B becomes more common as you move into Asia.

This link has a list of ethnic groups and their blood group frequencies. I'm guessing types A and O are the ones that evolved first, as you never see B alleles in Aborigines.
