Again the quote:
We were interested in discovering where Rh-negative may have originated. We therefore drew up a “weather-map” of the genic distribution of Rhnegative. The resulting isogenic map led us to conclude that Rh-negative originated in Southwestern France. We conjectured the period at about 50,000 years, and the population probably a Neanderthaloid-like (!) one.
I’ve never been to France or Spain, or anywhere in Europe, but l can recall enough maps to make the assumption that this likely goes straight back to Basque country! And l can by dint of family names trace ‘assumptive genes’ both ways. The once long hidden (behind mountain) region, unknown tribe,, whose blood was once 100% Rhesus Negative, must therefore be my forebears. And still has the highest count of negatives in the world, like 85%. It still points toward the long lost tribe of Israel. You could say they got caught between “a rock and a hard place”, as we say in England, which leaves no place to go, mountains behind you, sea in front, you make the most of where you are. And they stayed silent, unseen, untouched, safe and bloodline pure negatives for centuries, until typical humans burst upon them, and blew their idyllic home to pieces! Dropping positives into them like bullets from the sky! That’s my take on it, and no, l’m no geologist, historian, or expert in any field, except the paranormal, and my gut (not buck) stops there!
Interesting. However, the quote is not from A.E. Mourant himself, but an opinion that he cites. Mourant;s work remains extraordinary. We could use a modern re-interpretation that uses the latest genomic work on ABO and Rh Neg to re-examine the distributions and origins. For example, it is now known that there different RHD mutations in Caucasians, Africans and Asians. It should be possible to estimate the dates of those mutations, the spread of those mutations across time and the geographic origins. Present day distributions, though fascinating, do not explain how they came to be.
Hi Richard: I agree and hope some day in your lifetime, someone answers those unanswered questions. I’m no historian unless l’m being paid for words, but l do see we all have separate reasons for needing answers for our rate bloodline.
To all who read my input, and have responded, and not received a response, I thank you, may l apologise. I tick the box for being told you’re there, but seldom am l told someone replied to me. If this goes in feel free to contact me on my old email at jeaniejordan@hotmal.com for any paranormal worries, questions, or indeed, answers you might have.
