Interesting thing I like to keep in mind is that these blood types as commonly shown are horribly simplified. There are actually dozens of antigens with ABO representing the most important, even the ABO system is a bit more complicated with sub categories of A types etc, but the Rhesus system is on another level containing dozens of independent antigens. The + or - you see is short hand for the status of Rh D in particular. and there is a whole lot more: Hh, K, MNS, etc. The effects of mismatches can vary a great deal depending on the antigen and population E.g. H deficiency is particularly prevalent in India, and potentially lethal if ignored. This is a very important part of why its so tricky to modify or produce blood ourselves. Also, you can test a great deal about why we have blood types. E.g. you have things like Malaria which gets a hold on A type but not so easily on O type. Given the scale of death caused by malaria, even a small shift in its ability to infect someone would be a major evolutionary pressure, and with the right knowledge about this that evolutionary pressure could be quantified. (Thats only one of a number of other ailments tied to blood type.)

Well, what blood type does your post man have? Just Kidding. Its not weird, its possible. What was only indirectly mentioned in the video is the recessivity of 0 type. If you get A and 0 from your parents you are blood type A. This follows to this A+0=A, A+A=A, B+0=B, B+B=B A+B=AB. Meaning your father received A and 0 from his parents, your mother B and 0. Because of 0's recessivity their blood types are called A and B But they still can pass the 0 on to the next generation (you and your sister) She received A from your Father and B from your mother You received 0 from both.

[@TheHPExperiment]

As a med tech, this sounds like a bad idea to me. Evolutionarily speaking, genetic diversity is literally the driving force behind life itself. You said earlier in the video that one possible theory for the existence of multiple blood types was as an immunological response against disease. Which makes perfect sense. That's how evolution works. When the individuals of a population have diverse qualities, it betters the chances of the survival of the species as a whole. So reducing the number of blood types down to just one could be like taking an evolutionary step backwards and present a gigantic risk for the entire human race. I think synthetically produced blood products are a better option.

[@christiancampbell466]

No one’s talking about changing people’s blood type, which may not be possible and may be catastrophic for the individual, let alone the species. This video describes transforming units of blood after donation to cleanse them of factors that make them unsuitable to some potential recipients. A recipient’s marrow would continue generating its native blood type unchanged, and received units of blood would quickly be colonised through circulation alongside the body’s endogenous supply.

Howdy. Great. The clip actually attempts to answer the why. My theory is that the genes responsible for coding the blood cell proteins mutated somewhere along the history. The mutations were neither beneficial or unbeneficial so the evolution mechanisms did not select any variant out. They all just hiked along. Regards.

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

Interesting piece, but a bit simplistic. If you are just giving some one a type match ABO Rh -/+ are quick an easy. However that’s not the ideal. The ideal is a Type and Match. This be a cause there are 36 agreed upon Blood Group Systems and 2 more awaiting inclusion. There are also a total of 36 variables in each Humans blood typing to match and over 346 Red Blood Cell Antigens. To make things even more complicated, some of the genetic material that is expressed in Blood Type and Match are Mosaic. Meaning they can express different aspects of each parent’s alleles. This is why when a patient’s blood is drawn for any possible transfusion, they are given a unique, Blood Bank ID band. In this way there are double checks when blood leaves the lab, when blood arrives at the nurses station and again when the blood is hung. Usually only one Med Tech will work the Blood Bank for their entire shift. Incidentally, we already a fluid that mimics the composition of blood, minus cells. Generally when a patient is receiving fluids, they are receiving Normal Saline (0.0% Sodium Chloride). This is fine, but not ideal. Normal Saline has a nasty habit of raising a person’s K level, which in many cases can be contraindicated. In addition NS is slightly basic, while blood is slightly acidic. Acid + Base = Salts and H2O. This can mean RIDONKULOUS water retention. I had 2 surgeries go sideways 40 hours apart. When I woke up 4 days later, I looked like the Stayed Puffed Marshmallow Man. Lactated Ringers, on the other hand, closely mimic the chemistry of blood and is slightly acidic. I does not cause K spike, nor does it cause immense swelling, because, minus the cells, it mimics the chemical composition of our blood very closely. There are therefore fewer chances of side effects. Though if over used, it too can lead to edema. It is also contraindicated for patients who have Cirrhosis, Congestive Heart Failure, Hypoalbuminemia and Chronic Kidney Disease. It might just be me, though I am a statistical outlier, but if your going to discuss blood types, tell the whole story. 🥺🥺🥺

[@dessiewatkins1006]

I can't help but ask if the presence of a specific antigen is indication of an acquisition/introduction into one's ancestral gene pool and the absence of the antigen being the opposite -or perhaps that there are interactive variables activated at conception which determine the ratios of inheritance of acquired/ 'grafted gene's. One other possibility is like albinism-where co dominant alleles cancel each other out in the expression of the genes. My mother was blood type O+ and father O-. I am confused because I was told by obgyn that I am blood type A-. I have suffered enough physical problems to know with certainty that these were from my dad's ancestry, and like-wise those which were inherited from my mom's lineage. So my question is how did I inherit type A- if neither parent is type A? If there is a viewer whose has specialized knowledge of blood and genetic inheritance, I ask you, could the mystery of recessive gene's be that these become the phenotype, when two co -dominant alleles silence each other (maybe the gene segment unravels to an ancestral marker that signals to replace the dna segment with that of a recessive codethat has been present in the genotype but masked by the dominant genes.
