Hello Arlene,
I don't know much about predominating blood-groups in
people with non middle-european origin because that's
my favourite archeological area.
I think jewish people tended to mix up very little with
other ethnic origins. So maybe blood type 0 might
be the dominating in semitic origins also.

The jewish/semitic origins - as fas as could be told from
from the thora/bible and archeology must be assumed in the
middle east exactely the point where european
agriculture spread from.

So even if blood type A or B came up rather late
in history, my impression is that there is no
direct connection to the time
a person's society spent with or without
agriculture in history.

I think we have to search for some other reasons
if the blood types had different nutrition
requirements (waiting for adamos
objection:-) ).

regards
