Britain’s leading medical journ- | al, by two investigators who have tested | the blood of different races of mankind. | English scientists regard the report as a chombshell.”’ : During the wir the two pathologists, | in accordance with British custcm, went i to Macedonia, the supposed cradle of the | human race, and made 8,000 blood tests, | the subjects being English, French, Tta- | lian Germans, Austrians, Siberians, | Bulgarians, Arabs. Turks, Russians, | Jews, Malagasies, Negroes from Senegal, | Annamese and Indians, soldiers of all | these races and nationalities being gath | od in that area of the war. | The tests made under conditions which | preclude the possibility of errer, showed | differences between the blood of the dis- | ferent races of such a character as to i make it practicaily certain that mankind | had two different sources of origin. | The blood was shown to have two dis- | tinct and different chemical properties, which the discoverers for the sake of ’ convenience, distinguished as “Al and | |¢B.’7 These two properties, it is contended, have been adherent in the blood of two | separate and distinet races since man first made his-appearance On the earth 1 The ‘‘A’’property distinguished the one | race and the '‘B’’ property the other. | The theory that the distinetion has | existed since the beginning of human life is based ongthe known fact that pathologi- cal investigation has traced the bl od dit- ferences continuously for 150 years. In the English race the amount of ""A’”’ in the :blond is approximalely 43 per cent while in the Indians it is only 19 per cent On the other hand, the Indi- ans have 41 per cen:i: of ‘‘B’’ while the Englsh have only 7 per cent In the :English, French, l[taliau, Ger- man, Austrian, Serb, Greek and Bulga- rian nationalities (elassitied on the Eu- pean tvpe, the amount of ‘LA’is approx- imately the same and the proportion of ““B” is small ‘ In the Arabs, Turks, Prussians and Jews (the intermediate types) the pro- portion of ‘B’ shows a steadily rising value and continues to rise through the Asiatic and Afriecan types til' it reaches the maximum in the {lndians.
