IMHO it doesn't. I think the people on this list who are the strongest
believers
of the blood type theory are those who discovered they were Type O and
are now eating something closer to paleo than the USDA grain pyramid they
used to eat.
As I understand it, D'Adamo believes that everybody (hominid) used to be
type O, and only
after agriculture were type A and type B invented. According to this
theory,
paleos were all type O, and paleo food was the food that there was, so
it all worked out. However, I have read that chimpanzees also
have type A and type B blood, from the wild, so things become more
complicated. Wild chimpanzees certainly did not have blood type changes
due to
the increase of dairy products in their diet.
