There is a theory that anyone who is Rhesus negative is descended from extraterrestrials.

No problem - A positive

No! I'm not advocating elimination of the negatives! hmm Only interested in "Blood Groups" I'm "B Positive", one of 8% of all groups apparently. Would any one be interested in joining in a cohort to provide an insight into the distribution of groups throughout Britain? No personal ID would be involved, any more than listing Age and Weight.
Or does this info. already exist somewhere?
Cheers
