Where does the b type blood originate or what areas of the world are they more dominant?

Hey Henriette!!

thanks for that awesome link!!! have added to my faves!!  

Next week some lectures to give and can display some of the info!!

Thanks gal!

You are welcome- I think I got it from this forum somewhere- so I just added it to my favorites as well

There was actually Aboriginal tribes of Australia with B-Type, however, as they were mostly along the coast, or on islands, probably means outside contact. These also were tribes that practiced Bifurcation in the 'manhood ceremonies'.

Kalmykia and Chuvashia have high concentrations of B-Types - one of them is actually the only official Buddhist state in the continent of Europe.

I would imagine to actually trackdown where Bs came from would be rather dicey to pinpoint as the modern populations are peoples that were migratory....

Sad to say a lot of those numbers are not very accurate, possibly because they have mixed up genotype and phenotype data.

Here is a map that I've constructed using purely genotype data. It overlays the gene distribution for blood group B over the distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroups.

http://www.dadamo.com/haplo-b.htm

Using standard statistical tools, the following conclusions can be imputed for the B gene

1. In Eurasians, a strong correlation with haplogroup R1a, but even more specifically with R1A subtype R1a1
2. In South Asians, a correlation with high altitude, stature and lactose tolerance
3. In Africans, a correlation with haplogroup E3a, especially African Americans
4. In Central Asians, a mild correlation with haplogroups C and M
5. In Amerindians, a strong inverse correlation with haplogroup A
6. In East Asians, a mild correlation with fast acetylator phenotype
7. In Africans, a correlation with lower bilirubin levels
8. In Europeans, an inverse correlation Mesolithic repopulation after the Last Glacial Maximum
9. Overall, an inverse correlation with d (Rhesus negative gene)

As for more, you'll just have to wait for Genotype

...5. In Amerindians, a strong negative association with haplogroup A...

I've stared dazedly at that chart before...but what exactly is a "strong negative association"?

Not with blood type data, you haven't.  

It is essentially 'distance' or 'highest degree of variance.' That is, places you would go to not find what you are looking for.  

Technically 'inverse correlation' is the better description, but a lot of laypeople probably get 'negative association' a bit more intuitively.

Thanks for helping to clear that up.

Thanks dr D for your map

that book will be a treasure! )

but it takes sooooooooooo looooooooooooooooong time until its outcome

Yes, too bad it takes till next year....

But we have something to look forward to, right???  

Cocky

Yeah, I'm looking forward to even more Avoids.

You may be quite surprised

Now Dr. D, you can't hang that statement on a hook and dangle it in front of us that way!

. . . well, you CAN, but still--dang it!

When's the new book coming out again? Can't wait!  

That' an intriguing tease....can't wait!

*ears perking up*  Come on, sunflower seeds!  Go from avoid back to your rightful place as neutral!

While we are at it, what say we make wheat and corn syrup beneficials, too?

Just kidding on that last bit.  I prefer to feel healthy, even if it means reading labels from here to eternity.

yup and a superbenef for my café forrrr US...the Royals           ( )

I don't care, as long as my Genotype is  strong-Haplo-Dominant Avocado Association.

I've recently been living with several people from India.

They are all B+ like me...

They even say that Bs are the more common blood-type in India - trying to find some Hindi/English references to this effect.

That would fit right in with the love of dairy products.  

People in North India should have a higher ammount of bt B- than in south India !
Looking at the "indian" cuisine I am not surprised- most of the dishes that come from the north are easier to make B friendly or already B favorites- than the vegetarian/fish /shellfish/ccoanut version from the south !

Quoted from Henriette_Bsec

Applies to the south as well...

perhaps are there more AB's in the south...almost A2B' nonnies ...they just love fish and coconut but no hot peppers ......grrrr

Quoted from Schluggell

Applies to the south as well...

bUT I read that the % of B´s was higher in the NORTH - than the south.
or as Isa says: it is AB´s
