Hi!
I believe the B blood type originated in the East, around East Asia (China/Mongolia/Russia) Korea and Japan... and possibly Eastern Europe. However, you will have to check up on that...
I once read a great book called, "Eat Right For Your Blood Type" and I think that is where I heard that from.
Here is a site that I found that kind of follows that theory...

:)
Currently, it seems that the B Blood type is most present in Central Asia... this website below has wonderful maps that show you the distrubution of all the blood types...

I hope this helps...

*****EDIT*****
I found this on the web...
"The Nomadic Mutation"
"The gene for blood group B first appeared in significant numbers somewhere around 10 to 15,000 B.C., the tail end of the Neolithic period, in the area of the Himalayan highlands now part of present day Pakistan and India. Like the environmental conditions which spawned the advent of group A, the development of blood group B was in large part a response to changes in the environment. But unlike A, which began to supplant group O as a response to new types of infections, then thrived as a result of the new dietary changes, group B appears to have been more of a response to climatic changes, followed by a different set of dietary adaptations. Life in the tropical flat savannahs of eastern Africa gave way to a harsher existence as the Cro-Magnon hunters migrated to the colder, drier, mountainous areas of the subcontinent and the barren endless plains of the central Asian steppes."
Check out this website for the rest of the information/history of the "B" blood type... this is really interesting stuff.... this website has the history of all the blood types...
