Topic - Blood Types. The blood types found in people today started more than 20 million years ago and have been shared by other species for survival reasons.
Nothing is more important than surviving.
Type A was around before the B and O versions popped up in humans, gorillas, and baboons.
It’s also thought that those with Types A and B might have inherited them from a single ancestor millions of years ago.
Why do we care? Blood types make you vulnerable to disease.
Type Os catch cholera, plague, and other diseases more than others. Type As get smallpox. People with Type A are prone to blood clots which allowed them to survive during childbirth and after they suffered traumatic wounds.
Does blood type have anything to do with the diet that’s best for us? An interesting book called Eating Right for Your Type by Peter D’Adamo thinks so, and his ideas make sense. Maybe it’s your answer, too.
