So I want to take a look at the over all distribution of blood types across the world and US.

Who Has Which Blood Type?

Blood Types Percentage of US Population
O+ 38.4%
O- 7.7%
A+ 32.3%
A- 6.5%
B+ 9.4%
B- 1.7%
AB+ 3.2%
AB- 0.7%

So the way that a blood donation works is that a certain ‘Class’ or ‘Type’ of blood are known as universals and can be used for blood transfusions for complimentary types.
Here is how is breaks down:

		An ‘X’ denotes a blood type that is compatible with another.
		O -	O +	B -	B +	A -	A +	AB -	AB
B L O O D T Y P E	AB	X	X	X	X	X	X	X	X
	AB -	X		X		X		X
	A +	X	X			X	X
	A -	X				X
	B +	X	X	X	X
	B -	X		X
	O +	X	X
	O -	X

Here is the worldwide distribution of blood types. This is very interesting because it deals with the evolution of man and how race places a part in different blood types.
