Description
Ever wondered about your blood group and what it might mean? If so, Bloody Blood Groups is the book for you. Open it up and rummage around the facts and arguments to find what is relevant - you might be surprised at what you find!
Blood groups have been associated with a genetic predisposition to disease, intelligence, personality, ability, psychopathy and, physical attributes and all of these are discussed in the book with some of the reported unfounded nonsense separated from proven scientific conclusions.
Simply explained, but entertaining with its tales all written in humorous style, the book also has the author's own working life interspersed between the description of facts and tales surrounding the ideas around blood groups.
But what is a blood group? And where is it found? Answering these questions, the author also brings to life some of the bizarre conclusions and assumptions earlier investigations have claimed. Are you especially intelligent as a consequence of your blood type? Are you particularly handsome or good looking as a consequence of it? The ABO and Rhesus groups are explored as are the uncommon and really rare blood groups. Could you be one of those?
