Human blood is around 0.9% salt. Around 0.25% of our total body weight is salt.

Ocean water is about 3.5% salt...

Evolution-wise, our blood originally began as a 'pinched-off' area of ocean water held within the body of an aquatic organism, as a method of maintaining homeostasis with increasing body size.
