More than 1 person in 3, or 38.4%, has O-positive blood, making it the most common
1 person in 3, or 32.3%, has A-positive, nearly as common
1 person in 12, or 9.4%, has B-positive
1 person in 15, or 7.7%, has O-negative
1 person in 16, or 6.5%, has A-negative
1 person in 29, or 3.2%, has AB-positive
1 person in 67, or 1.7%, has B-negative
1 person in 167, or 0.7%, has AB-negative, making it the rarest blood type
Genetics and geographic isolation makes some blood types more common in one race or group than another, but there's distribution across all races for all types.

Well, if they say that you are more likely to find a match with someone of your own race then it would seem to be that a race would generally share the same blood type - rare or not. However, not everyone in a race has the same blood type.

Not specific to, but more prevalent in people of certain descent. For instance Scandinavians have a higher proportion of A+ the rest of Europe.

Some blood types are more common in certain races but not specific to them.

I don't think so. I think they are just particular to an individual's genetic make-up. I believe AB neg is very rare.

Rare blood type? Aren't all humans either A, B, AB or O?
None are considered RARE.
Hey, if anyone who answers is anything other than A, B, AB or O, let me know!
