I've recently been paying attention to some of the theories about extraterrestrial life forms altering our DNA (something I've always just generally taken as a "probably" but paid little attention to.
Rh negative blood is apparently rare(ish), only approximately 15% of the population having it, and there doesn't seem to be any scientifically proven theory of how Rh negative came about; it's somewhat an unexplained anomaly.
I'm not able to immediately come up with any decent articles about this topic, so my apologies for having to paraphrase.
Anyway, to further add to the this, the negative Rh blood type is most prominent in the Basque people, who are also af bit of an anomaly--having relatively isolated and mysterious origins.
I'll try to add to this as I'm able to find some decent articles, but there are theories out there that the negative Rh blood type came from aliens, etc.

So anyway, granted I was learning about some of this by watching Ancient Aliens (lol), but one of the additional curiosities of Rh negative blood is that, as any woman who has it and has been pregnant can attest, there is something inherent in the blood type that will attempt to get rid of a fetus who does not have an Rh negative blood type.
So in order to prevent our bodies from automatically rejecting a child who doesn't have the negative Rh blood type, we have to get a shot during pregnancy.
But it is curious that an uncommon and relatively unexplained blood type would seek to only reproduce the same unusual blood type (I suppose one could look at that as a very basic way of ensuring that the genes survive, so to speak, but people with Rh positive blood don't have this issue).

Violets , there are said to 8 different blood groups and I found this info on a site: "...although all blood contains the same basic components (red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma), not everyone has the same types of markers on the surface of their red blood cells. These markers (also called antigens) are proteins and sugars that our bodies use to identify the blood cells as belonging in our own system. The different markers that can be found in blood make up eight possible blood types: O negative. This blood type doesn't have A or B markers, and it doesn't have Rh factor. O positive. This blood type doesn't have A or B markers, but it does have Rh factor. O positive blood is one of the two most common blood types (the other being A positive). A negative. This blood type has A marker only. A positive. This blood type has A marker and Rh factor, but not B marker. Along with O positive, it's one of the two most common blood types. B negative. This blood type has B marker only. B positive. This blood type has B marker and Rh factor, but not A marker. AB negative. This blood type has A and B markers, but not Rh factor. AB positive. This blood type has all three types of markers — A, B, and Rh factor." Which of these would be the one you are referring to?

@astrokeen, all of the negative blood types.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh_blood_group_system"Rh factor An individual either has, or does not have, the "Rh factor" on the surface of their red blood cells. This term strictly refers only to the most immunogenic D antigen of the Rh blood group system, or the Rh− blood group system. The status is usually indicated by Rh positive (Rh+ does have the D antigen) or Rh negative (Rh− does not have the D antigen) suffix to the ABO blood type. However, other antigens of this blood group system are also clinically relevant. These antigens are listed separately (see below: Rh nomenclature). In contrast to the ABO blood group, immunization against Rh can generally only occur through blood transfusion or placental exposure during pregnancy in women."

Violets, I have a negative blood group, but I didn't get any shots during pregnancy. Just found out that my blood type is present in only 1.7% of the population in my country of origin .

Wow, @astrokeen! I just received one of those ancestral DNA kits to find out what my lineage is... Scottish and Irish seem to make up a bit of the Rh negative population as well, which would explain mine (I suppose). I'll get my results at some point, which will at least be interesting.
I'm still looking for a solid article on theories of how the blood type came about.

Hey Violets, Iv been reading a bit on this topic myself lately - Im neg blood and my bf is positive blood and as you know im pregnant. As this is my first it shouldnt affect the baby as the anti bodies start developing during delivery(if baby is rh positive) - but could affect future pregnancy. So I have read anyway but i will ask the midwife in anycase when we meet this week. I went off track there, im irish and read that alot of irish have descendended from the north of spain. There is a part of france also that make up one of the celtic nations too. Interesting that these areas have a high percentage. Its an interesting topic. I will give more thoughts when im back later - im on my phone Pls dnt quote

It would be interesting to see what percentage of AstroGarden members are RH negative, i.e., how many alien types hang around here . vg, congratulations!

Wondering also though- a question for those who believe in past lives - do you think we would have the same blood type in every life?
pls dnt quote

Ooh, vg that is an interesting thought. I suppose it depends on whether or not we subscribe to the idea that our blood type is the result of alien DNA--in which case I would think probably so? Alternatively, if it's just a genetic anomaly that can be clearly explained by science as we understand it at present, I would think it would fluctuate through lifetimes... But that's just me pondering.

Another interesting note is that type O negative blood is considered the "universal donor" blood type, as all other blood types can accept it.
So although the body with this blood type will attempt to prevent the reproduction of offspring who do not have the negative blood type, it's simultaneously able to be introduced to any other human body without harm.

My father gave a lot of blood, and I'm pretty sure he said he did that because he was a universal donor, so his blood was extra useful. I vaguely recall him saying he was O negative. He was also fully of Irish descent. Well that's good, that makes me at least PART alien, if my father was one. I wouldn't want to miss out. Though I am run-of-the-mill A positive, like my mother and all my siblings.

Ava, I also have type O negative. I'm not sold on the idea of alien DNA, of course. But it's interesting to me for a few reasons, anyway. If nothing else, it's interesting as an anthropological topic.

Jeez... 🙄
My UFO nerd husband, trying to talk to me about aliens... His Virgo Mercury is conjunct my Moon, but we both have Mutable T-squares that tie into those placements, and his includes Saturn.
So he's trying to "explain" some things in a very long, tedious fashion, I'm already getting it, but I think he's using poor examples to get his point across, and he's interrupting me to "explain" exactly what I was in the middle of saying, just slightly differently.
Gotta love those squares, lol.

Aw <3
His Mercury must be conjunct my husband's @ 1° Virgo. And of course my Mercury's widely conjunct yours.
But my husband and I interact differently....when aliens come up, I completely take the floor. I lecture as seriously as I can while he snickers and raises his eyebrows like, "I should have you committed," but I know that deep down, he's fascinated. Maybe he'll come around some day.

Ava, it's almost the opposite for us, ha. My husband's theories that he reads about are SO elaborate, I'm like "Omg, sure. Yes, it's possible. Is it likely? Probably not." 😂 But I keep an open mind, because I do believe in a lot of it.

Mum was an O blood type, dad is B positive. I don't know what I am.
