Blood Type History, Human Migrations (Blam Thread)
USC ^ | July 01, 05 | Dennis O'Neil

Posted on 07/03/2005 1:47:49 PM PDT by Little Bill

I have been interested in human migrations for many years. One of the markers of a population is the distribution of a blood type among a given population.

I got interested in this because the blood type distribution in the UK is nearly 50/50 A/O, a small sample has other blood types.

My dear old Ma is Black Irish and is A/B, not a common blood type in the part of Ireland where her family originated.

"What is that?"

Dark spots at birth, they usually fade away over time.

The incidence of birthmarks in the neonate

AH Jacobs and RG Walton

The presence of various types of birthmarks was determined in 1,058 newborn infants under 72 hours of age. Of these, 79.5% were white, 6.2% were black, 11.2% were ladinos, and 2.6% were Asiatic. Mongol spots were present in 9.6% of the white babies, 95.5% of the black babies, 81% of the Asiatic babies, and 70.1% of ladino infants. Pigmented lesions were present in 42 (4%) of the infants. Biopsies obtained in 34 (3.2%) revealed that only one-third (11) of these were melanocytic nevi. Salmon patches were present in 40.3% of the infants, recognizable early strawberry marks in 2.6%, and port-wine strains in 0.3%. In addition to birthmarks, it was determined that 30.3% of the 508 babies examined at one of the two hospitals had toxic erythema of the newborn.

Look, the characteristics people use to differentiate "races" are usually visible. Although it's probably as great a separation between two groups as is possible, folks with extra red cones and no blue cones are not identified as all that different.

It's been my observation that cultures developed by a racial type, isolated from other cultures developed by that same type, are very similar or close identical to one another, but radically different to cultures developed by another racial type, whose cultures, in turn, are very similar or close identical to one another.

This would have nothing to do with anatomical characteristics whether visual or not. Visual characteristics are just the rule of thumb we use. It works pretty close.

Irish, Scots and English background here and the blood type is 0-. BTW, so is my husband's. The dr who did our premarital bloodtest was suprised that we were both 0-.

I'm O+, as are both my parents & my brothers. We're of
Scottish/German/French/English & Irish descent. My oldest
brother's wife has A+ blood (oddly, neither of her parents
have such) & is a bit Italian... with the maiden name of Proudlock.

That would also mean that about 90% of the full-blooded Czechs who live in this area are also Type O.

All that intermarriage with close relatives - almost as bad as Arkansas!

I hope your "father" is not an "A".

"here's my theory
A=Adam
B=Eve
AB=Cain/Able decendents
O= Noah's decendents "


I am not a 'scientist', however, your theory does not add up given what we are told. Eve was formed from something removed from the Adam, the word used is "rib", however, it actually should be "curve". Now here is a real curve, consider, we are told that there was a 6th day creation, the 7th day was for rest and then there was no 'man' to tend the Garden, thus on the 8th day the Adam was created. We do not know if Eve was created on the same day or not.

Considering what we know about DNA makes more sense there were two days of creation, plus given what we are told in the first chapter of Genesis.

LOL! You don't know the half of it! I always laughed when hubby and I would go to some local get-together, and he'd find another cousin or two! Big families + big families adds up to LOTS AND LOTS of relatives.

Thanks for the article, I never believed in the out of Africa Theory, never made any sense, the whole theory seems to be a tautology.

The thing that has puzzled me for years is that if you look at distribution of population in Africa by language group for example or racially, Bushmen for example, is seems that people were coming into Africa rather than departing.

North Africans are what I call 'come-back' Africans, more like the rest of humans, who migrated back to North Africa after they went through many changes.
The Sub-Saharian Africans, I call them 'stay-at-home' Africans, are different than all other people on earth. Everyone else on earth are more closely related to themselves that they are to Sub-Saharian Africans. The 'stay-at-home' Africans missed out on all the changes that make most of us who we are today.

I'm just "O"rdinary. My wife and sons are all overachievers (A+). ;-)

But on both sides we're predominately Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, and Danish.

Blam; I can't agree with you on that one. If you look at the Nile Vally as an entry point and the spread of of the Bantu language group and the Isolation of the Hottentots and the Bushmen, it would seem to me that that they entered into Africa rather than re entered into.

Allot of the languages in Africa are Egypo-Hametic and they seem to form a crescent from Egypt to Morocco, with a big stab down the Nile Valley into Ethiopia. There need to be some research in this area.

Another question I have is why is there no Neanderthals or few in Africa?

Click on the link in post #53. You'll see'em leave and see'em come back. This is based on Oppenheimer's DNA studies.

"Another question I have is why is there no Neanderthals or few in Africa?"

Adapted for cold weather during the Ice Age. The Sahara was extremely dessicated during most of the Ice Age and difficult to cross...a few interstadials here and there though. The coldest time during the whole Ice Age was 18-23,000 years ago. It may even have been to cold for the Neanderthals

Having said that, I still keep the door open for any other possibilities and expect there to be some surprises in the next few years probably from expanded DNA surveys.

Her biological father does.
