AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the inheritance of blood types and their potential link to personality traits. Participants note that blood type is inherited from parents, with examples of individuals sharing blood types with their fathers or mothers. However, it is emphasized that blood type does not influence personality. The conversation highlights that there are numerous blood groups beyond the common A, B, O, and Rh factors. Additionally, any hypothetical connection between blood type and personality would likely stem from genetic proximity on chromosomes rather than a direct influence. The role of epigenetics is suggested as a more relevant area for exploration regarding personality development.

I have the same blood type as my father, but one of my brothers had the same principal type as my mother, but the opposite Rh-factor.

Blood type has nothing to do with personality.
 
FWIW - there a lot of blood groups beside the A,B,O antigens and the Rh factor antigen.

And. If there were an effect outside of the immune system (I know of none) the effect would be due to the fact that the locus (parking place on the chromosome) for the ABO group lay really close to the locus for some personality gene.

Based on what we know about epigenetics, I'd say look there first.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
