Actually, chimps don't have type B, and gorillas don't
have type A.  But baboons have both, as well as O and
AB, so the more developed apes must have lost the
alleles.

I must admit I am still looking for a theory that lets
me have cheese....but ABO won't do it.  (Too bad -
weren't the pastoral hordes from Central Asia the ones
who introduced the B allele into Europe? and I'm type
B.)  On the other hand, if the Celtic and Nordic
peoples (my ancestors) managed to retain lactase into
adulthood by using dairy products for thousands of
generations, wouldn't it make sense that they would be
adapted to milk....Only trouble is, my runny nose
doesn't believe it.  Oh well
