Are you one of the people in the O blood type group? Here are 5 things you should know
What makes every human being unique is not only their genetic makeup but also a set of cultural, psychological, character, and environmental components.
However, the old proverb "the apple does not fall far from the tree" has, however, a foundation of truth as the blood group can also influence some distinctive traits in people.
Did you know that those who are part of the O blood types have unique characteristics compared to others?
Throughout history, new blood grouping systems have been developed, based on factors known as antigens. The International Society of Blood Transfusions currently recognizes about 30 classification methods, among which are the ones called Rhesus (or RH factor) and that of the Austrian biologist Karl Ernest Landsteiner (or ABO factor).
Within this last group, we can distinguish four blood groups (phenotypes): A (A- and A +), B (B + and B-), AB and O (O- and O +). To be specific, the rarest is the AB group which only has 6% of the world population, then there is the B group which corresponds to 22%, the A group at 32% and finally the O group O which is the one shared by as many as 44% of the people on Earth.
At least for once, however, it is not the rarest blood group that is also the most special but rather the opposite. There are in fact particular qualities that only those belonging to the blood type O possess, and here is a list of them.
