This may be pertinent in a variety of ways:
Best Answer: Yes, the process that is used to determine blood type is called agglutination. It has to do with how blood cells clump together to keep foreign material, such as bacteria from entering the cells. In humans all blood A, B, AB, ( except O ) have antigens on the surface of the cells that initiates this clumping reaction when the cells come into contact with allergens including different blood antigens.
Two complex chimpanzee blood group systems, V-A-B-D and R-C-E-F systems, proved to be counterparts of the human MNS and Rh-Hr blood group systems, respectively.
Canine blood groups
Over 13 canine blood groups have been described. 8 are called DEA (Dog Erythrocyte Antigen)
Feline blood groups
The commonly recognized system of feline blood designates cats as A, B, or AB. The vast majority of cats in the United States are Type A,
Equine blood groups
There are ten recognized blood groups in the horse: A, C, D, K, P, Q, T, U, V, and W.
Bovine blood groups
The polymorphic systems in cattle include the A, B, C, F, J, L, M, S, and Z polymorphism
Bonus answer.
We are not different.
Humans have highly evolved brains, but the Dolphin has a much larger even more complex brain than humans, and a more complex language. Dolphins are able to visually see sound waves so they can see under sand or in cloudy water and in the dark, all things we have to resort to technology for. Dolphins, like humans evolved to survive in their specific environment, We could not live in the sea like they do because of our bodily limitations, just as Dolphins can not live on land due to their bodies. Humans survive by manipulating their environment to make it suitable for them to live in, where many other animals change to fit their environment. We are not alone though, birds and bees build nests, monkeys and apes use tools like sticks or stones to get food, and there are a variety of other animal innovations that they have developed to overcome problems. We differ from most animals by the degree and scope that we change the world to suit us,
Our unique physical characteristics, having hands with opposable thumbs, walking upright, and our mental process, using advanced logic in planning such as mathematics is not seen in other animals, though planning and cooperation are observed in many. Lions for example all come together before a hunt in a circle, nose to nose, they don’t make any sounds and gestures, and then they execute cooperative plans. We do not yet understand how they are communicating. It looks like telepathy, but has not been extensively studied.

One of the questions that comes up is if Adam and Eve were the first humans 6,000 years ago, why are there different blood types at all. Shouldn’t we all have the same type of blood? The other question is why are some types non-transferable to others, why is there sometimes a fatal reaction when the wrong type is used. Myself, I have what has been called the universal donor, I can give to anyone except for all the medications I am on that no-one wants. Blood types alone would indicate a long period (tens of thousands of years) of divergence for different groups to evolve different types of blood. If God made us all from the same mold, why don’t we all have the same type of blood? This tells me that God used whatever was at hand to evolve humans a long time ago. Even intelligent design, doesn’t hold up.

Just a tid-bit about Adam. Adam is not his name. Adam means “Red earth man". The older burials used Red Ochre in the burials, then they changed in some areas to sky burials. Red Ochre burial have been found everywhere mankind has gone. Now the older Genesis stories tell us that the Midwife created man from Red Earth (Red Ochre). So if the mankind had the knowledge (GOD) to domesticate most of the animals we used today. Then what the story may be saying is that original mankind use it’s god to domesticate man (Adam). The Genesis stories very in the number of Adams created. Some say up to twelve.
I should add this. The oldest Red Ochre burial found today dates back 80,000 years.

I have read before that "Adam" is a title more than a name, just as "Christ", is a title given to a man named Jesus. Perhaps some of the other names in the OT are titles or Archetype of non-existent people. That gives credence to the idea that the OT is Mythology more than history, though even mythology usually has some event that is the source of the story that grows up around it.
I should add this. The oldest Red Ochre burial found today dates back 80,000 years.
There was a program called "The Red Paint People" that documented these red ocher burials and the oldest were discovered in the new world which was contrary to the theory that everything developed first in the old world and spread to the new world. The thought was that the red ocher burials went in the opposite direction, though I don't remember if the 80,000 year old burials had been discovered at the time of this documentary.
This program documented the "Maritime Archaic" of the North American northern east coast, though some of the red ocher burials greatly preceded the accepted time frame of the "Maritime Archaic" culture.

“The earliest evidence for modern human behaviour."
The Pinnacle Point Caves have been the subject of intensive study since 2000 by the SACP4 Project (South African Coastal Palaeoclimate, Palaeoenvironment, Palaeoecology, and Palaeoanthropology Project), under the direction of Professor Curtis Marean of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University.
and
According to research which Prof. Marean and his team published in 2007, this is probably where the small, core population that gave rise to all humans alive today first began to exhibit significantly modern behaviour: the systematic harvesting of food from the sea, the use of complex bladelet technology, and the use of ochres for symboling
Prof. Marean announced the initial results of the SACP4 Project in a paper which he co-authored with Dr. Nilssen and ten others. ‘Early human use of marine resources and pigment in South Africa during the Middle Pleistocene’ was published in the 18 October, 2007 edition of the international journal of science, Nature (449, 905-908).

This site may be older than 80,000 years and offer a convenient starting point for steady coastal migration north, with a constant supply of edible seafood and small coastal animals along the way. I would have picked that route, I'm from Holland.
p.s. I wanted to keep this thought seperate because I am not sure how to phrase this in a non-prejudicial way.
The question came to mind that if this was true, it might account for the appearance of “paler” offspring as the gradual change of local climates reduced the need for dark skin pigmentation as a natural advantage. Proximity to northern oceans bleaches everything. ![]()
This does not conflict with the in-land migration north. It is a convenient secondary route offering the opportunity to develop new and different skills and tools in addition to having knowledge of the tools of in-land dwellers, who were the first and the oldest.
Then, perhaps much later, the offspring of each diverging branches were rejoined in the bottlenecks between Africa><europe allowing for combining acquired genetic assets as well as knowledge. If Spain was once such a bottleneck, this would make perfect sense.

I had watched a documentary a few years ago that was either about this cave or included a description of this site as part of the program. It's been a few years and I don't remember the details very well, but I do remember the references to harvesting shell fish as food, which was similar to the "Maritime Archaic's" leaving large piles of shells along the coast.
Great skills in computer research. Thanks for the data. We know that mankind came out of Africa a long time ago. What we are now just beginning to look into is what was going on in the Yellow River area of China at the same time. Political problems have kept the researchers out of the area.
My thoughts on this discussion. Having a background in business and not academic, my views and methods are quite difference that most people on this site. I expect results or I have to abandon the subject and move on. Results come from logical research. Not saying that the logical result is always the correct result, but it is a road taken and a destination reached.
One disturbing fact has always shown its devilish face. And that is that many of the scientific colleges and experts in the subject of religion are driven not by science but by the methods of the Dark Ages. And I understand that the Department of Inquisition which was the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition is still very much active and working behind the walls with all the funding in the world that is needed. They have mainly been cleaning the shelves of all items that have surfaced out of the ground from the past that give us an idea of our past history which in not to their thinking. They have the experts that can interrupt those items. Now that there are a few experts that they can’t seem to control or destroy, who can also interrupt the writings of the past, and thanks to the internet we (the common people) have a real chance of understanding our past.
My feelings is that science is still not able to move forward on many religious subjects do to these mass conceptions that mankind has about how mankind should think about religion and god. Just look at the religious wars going on today caused by these conceptions.
An example using the Image of God. Logic tells us that we should start from the beginning. The story tells us that man was made and then man had a garden. The Garden of Eden. So, logically we should go to the Garden of Eden, where man was made and start there. So where is the Garden of Eden? The logical thing to do is go look on a map. Ok, we have now looked at the oldest religious maps and they all place the Garden of Eden in India. Ok, we have now spent thirty minutes on the internet and know that the Garden of Eden is in India according to past data. But where in India? The story tells us it is where four rivers come together. OK, another thirty minutes on the internet and we have two locations in India where four rivers meet.
Now, where is science on this? People have been looking for the Garden of Eden for a long time. Then in the 1950’s they started using scientific methods in the search. Science in the last sixty-five years claimed to have the cradle of civilization found many times using science. First they found it in Egypt, then kept moving north until they reached the Fertile Crescent. Now they have went across the Fertile Crescent and hit the ocean and still have not found the cradle. Go across the ocean or along the shore and you end up in India.
Next, we ask ourselves, “Was man the only thing that God created at that time?" And the answer is no. God created food and other animals. If that is true, then what is science telling us about where they originated? You guessed it, India.
Next, how did the past history get lost? The stories passed down say that plagues were the biggest problem and wiped out most the population about seven times. They also say there were natural disasters. No wars are talked about.
Today I still have two questions about the Image of God that I would like the answers to.
The first is, was “God" a term used for “knowledge" or was it the name of the group of people who had developed a higher level of knowledge?
The second question. Comes from the art work from the past found in Middle East, India and Southern China. They show a smaller than normal size person with larger than normal eye sockets and a larger nose. Now at first I thought that the artists were not that good. Then I found the same pictures along with normal humans carved into the same stones with life like features. Therefore the artists were very good at portraying a person. So why did they carve the abnormal people? Was there another branch of mankind? Did they get wiped out in a plague? Were they known as the gods?

Sorry, I missed your posting. Been really busy. I would like to respond.
About two weeks ago in the news a new study was released stating that research had been done on past graves in Europe. And the result of the data was that the white man did not develop in Europe from the common understood belief that the climate caused the whiter skin.
They did offer a theory based upon their data that the white man may have developed in Eastern Europe that is now part of Southern Russia and immigrated to Europe.

I try to so see the biblical metaphors in a purely objective allegorical way.
a) I see the term Garden of Eden as a metaphor for the ecosystem of the earth itself. We use a similar metaphor in science when we speak of Cinderella planets. Any Cinderella planet is a potential Garden of Eden, if the right chemistry for the evolution of flora and fauna to form a Garden of Eden is present.
Thus the Garden of Eden does not necessarily mean a specific location. Genesis could have happened anywhere on the planet, which, but from the available data, seems to be somewhere in central So. Africa.
b) I see the term "Cast from Eden" as a metaphor for evolving a sophisticated brain, capable of altering the environment, thus removing total dependence on the Garden of Eden and allowing us to explore new frontiers, some of them abstractly.
It is our becoming more independent from our immediate environment that automatically placed us apart from all other life in that environment. Being cast out in this context has nothing to do with punishment for bad behavior. It describes the evolutionary process of more or less greater independence on the immediate environment. But then consider seasonal migrating animals over routes, thousands of miles long and hundreds of thousands of years old. How did that happen?
I could also use the metaphor of "removing the shackles of innocence" (they knew shame). IOW, knowledge of the world beyond our own little garden and the need for a new kind of morality to cope wih our increasing mental abilities for making sophisticated individual choices. Ants don't have to deal with human morality. They dont have a need to know about shame, because they are still part of the Garden of Eden.
As to "paler skin", you see my reluctance to speculate without sounding prejudicial. IMO, it makes no difference where or when the need for darker pigment actually resulted in lighter skin. What are the properties of melanin?
Description
People of all races have skin pigmentation disorders. Some disorders, like albinism (which affects one out of every 17,000 people) are rare. Others, such as age spots, are very common.
Skin pigmentation disorders occur because the body produces either too much or too little melanin, a pigment that creates hair, skin, and eye color. Melanin protects the body by absorbing ultraviolet light.
So, now we need to look at the places on earth that are more shielded from ultraviolet light. That could be anywhere, but, so far, the evidence leads to an association of pale with northern hemisphere.
A genetic mutation? Why not? The genes of every individual who survives to procreate are contributing minor mutations to the human gene POOL. Its a deterministic process. And an even more subtle distinction, have we ever found an identical fingerprint from two individuals? I don't think so.
Apparently every offspring IS a mutation of gene mixing in the parents' combined DNA. This is the exponential function in the evolutionary process of 2 parent gene mixing as we can see EVERYWHERE. Nobody looks alike, its a matter of degree. The process functions the same in evolution of the brain, IMO. Genesis, an emerging (unfolding) process of evolving Intelligence and self awareness.
Consider the known dangers of the Ozone hole in our atmosphere and a result of our physical influence on the environment, especially for "pale people" (lacking melanin). That's why we now have laws forbidding the use of ozone depleting chemicals, unless they are used in a "closed system". We have an infinite way of describing the gods of the universe. The Universe function as any metaphorical God ever in existence, the universe gave rise to the gods.
Everything is a relative experiential metaphor, from "father time", to "mother nature". It's all the same! Just don't mess with the facts. Scriptures do. We can only know ourselves, our gods are unknowable. They are an hierarchy of relative exponential functions and states.
To be honest, contemplating the universe automatically results in a spiritual experience in everyone alike, the self-discovery of certain fundamental truths about the nature and properties of the Universe, not some metaphor, which then becomes divine law?
Some basic points that were understood centuries ago that are just now being realized by some in general public today in America. We get 90% of our protein from a 104 plants, and all but a few came from the area we know as India and the lands northwest of India. If it is cotton from Egypt. It traveled to India to be domesticated into a cotton that people could use, then back to Egypt. Sugar cane from the islands. Watermelon from Africa. You name it, it all went to India to be domesticated. The chicken was a Vietnam tree bird until domesticated in India. Olives, nuts, fruit and most item you can name including the animals traveled to India and was formed into a useful product for mankind. Of all the major foods, only four items were domesticated outside of India. When the America’s was discovered, the potato and corn were new items. But it was so well understood that India was the center of domestication that the theory was that the potato came to South America from India. It was only a couple of years ago that DNA proved that the potato was in fact domesticated in South America. Also in this last year, the many breeds of dogs from Europe, that were believed to have been developed in Europe, were found to not have been developed in Europe but in fact had come from India.
The archeologist when digging in Egypt use the seed and bone layer of as a dating tool, 1700 B.C. Below that layer you will not find the many various types of seeds and animal bones. That is when the Hyksos (Asians) came to rule Egypt.
This is why the Garden of Eden most likely was very large and located in India.
On the subject of white skin, red hair and all of that. I have yet to find the oldest date of a white person in Europe. The study we talked about earlier was one of the first studies to check for white skin with DNA. They use graves from the Bronze Age. What they are thinking is the white skin people came to Europe only 5K years ago.
We also know that Europe had many plagues. It is said that some of the plagues kill over half the population of Europe. They have recently discovered that many of the worst plagues were leprosy. And you can only get leprosy if you are of Asian descent.

It is about time that the subject of God should step outside of the Jewish thinking. And now with new Nag Hammadi Library data that was unearthed, the picture is becoming much clearer that the thoughts of many “questionable" experts that were considered the weird thinkers and way out over the edge. Were in fact right on target.
Mary the Magdalene was the only none Jew in the group and a god that became a Jew and both Jesus and Mary started the new religion. But they were only coping what had been done or written in the past.
Let me put it another way. In the past Christianity had two roads, and Rome wanted Christianity to take only one road. They were the thinking of a guy (Paul) who was follow a dream. And who religious background was from northern Turkey. With the thinking that one should abstain from most sex activities. And the other was Valentinian thinking, the same thinking as Mary and Jesus. Valentinian thinking was from the older Egyptian beliefs. And very active with sex in religion.
Constantine picked the road and the world was forever changed and all other thoughts were burnt, destroyed or buried.
Point being, the god did not change. It is mankind’s view of God that changes. Not clear on your statement “Seth channeling weirdos". I do not know much about Seth the son of Adam. Or are you talking about Seth the ancient Egyptian god? Part animal and part human.
In the “Image of God", all I was saying is that if you put god in a timeline and look at how god evolved and go outside of the bible (the 5K year’s theory). Then you will see that the first gods were not deities. Again it is how god is being view, and not how history shows it really was.
The only skeptic here is on the earth only being 5K years old. And the only alien conspiracies here are in the dreams of Paul.
You know if you don’t understand what gods are today as well as in the past, then your thinking is inside of the box. I bet you will forget more about the religion of the bible than I will ever have time to learn. But to me the history of religion starts with the Age of Deities and the bible is only a part of that history. And Gods started before the Age of Deities and is much older than religion. That is what history is telling me. So stop looking for the quick exit and try to comprehend the thoughts.
General information about Nag Hammadi Library data. What is happening is this data is showing a better picture of the start of Christianity. And what ideas (theories) are the correct ones. It seems that Jesus’s generation wanted a change in the Jewish customs and ended up starting their own religion based upon the combination of the Jewish and the older Egyptian religion stories.
The items that Jesus and Mary wanted changed were, woman rights, a really big issue. The second big issue was the way the church view sex. Other items were the methods of worship. And restrictions lifted on foods that could be eaten.
When Constantine pick the Pauline Christianity, the woman’s rights and the new way the church view sex were lost. The changes in worship and food remained in tacked.
The church tells us that it was about the way we view god. But that was not the big issue with Mary and Jesus. It became a bigger issue after Jesus and Mary were gone. And this new data is helping clear all this up. It may take several generations for the changes to sink in.
With that said, the way we view god is different in some ways than Mary and Jesus viewed god. But we weren’t around back then, so we were not an issue to them.
So, after all the posts pro and anti religion, can we ask the question, “Are religions, metaphoric representatations of universal potentials, beneficial or detrimental to humanity?”

metaphoric representations of universal potentials are beneficial, religions are detrimental
