Wow! He had brown eyes and was infected with Lyme. Predisposition to cardiovascular disease and was lactose intolerant. Wow! The blood tells it like it is! :)

What was his blood type? The article I read didn't mention it, and C_Sharp's link is long and I don't have the time to read it in depth right now. I couldn't find the blood type info from skimming it.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!
That is great, now all the people claiming Dr D's guess ( as opposed to their guess ) about the oldest blood type have to admit that he is currently correct for the known oldest.

This just proves that type O blood existed 5,300 years ago. It does not prove that type A or B or AB blood didn't co-exist, since we only have the one sample.

Does anyone know what type Cheddar man was? They seem to have his full DNA reconstructed, so it should not be a mystery.
Do Cro-magnon, Denisovan, and Neanderthal DNA have ABO blood types?

As far as I know the blood type is not known. The DNA that was decoded was the partial Mitochondrial, which can be extracted from bone, rather than full Nuclear DNA.
I imagine this would go for the others as well.
I an not really certain on that but I have never blood type noted for any ancient find.
