Do certain blood groups belong to certain races only?

Question

Do certain blood groups belong to certain races only?

Answer 1

Not exactly, at least not as far as the A,B,O, AB groups are concerned.

There are some other characteristics that are only found in specific racial groups, and an obvious example is sickle cell anemia which only affects coloured people.

However, the A,B,O groupings are not entirely homogenous. Group O is the commonest European group  and A follows on as next commonest, whilst in Norway, it is the other way round: no-one knows why this is so.

Group B is more common amongst Eastern European, Russian and (I think) some Indian people.

The AB group is usually found in the offspring of parents who are individually A,and B.

The + and - refers to the "rhesus" factor and this is additional to the A,B,O grouping.

Answer 2

Here's the most current breakdown of the world population:

O=46%

A=39%

B=11%

AB=4%

Answer 3

They say certain groups originate from different races.  For example A rhesus Neg is said to originate from the Arab states xx

Answer 4

There is no such thing as a biological concept of race, so no.

Answer 5

All blood groups belong to the same race, the only race on the planet, the human race, Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Is everybody unaware that the human genome has been traced? HELLO!
