Only one Neanderthal\u2019s blood had been typed in the past, and was found to be type O under the ABO system used to classify the blood of modern humans. Since all chimpanzees are type A, and all gorillas are type B, it was assumed that all Neanderthals were type O. But the new study found that the Neanderthal woman\u2019s 100,000-year-old remains from Siberia\u2019s Denisova Cave had type A blood; the Neanderthal woman\u2019s 48,000-year-old remains from Siberia\u2019s Chagyrskaya Cave also had type A blood; and the Neanderthal woman\u2019s 64,000-year-old remains from Croatia\u2019s Vindija Cave had type B blood. All three Neanderthals, however, carried a now-rare Rhesus type called \u201cRhesus plus incomplete,\u201d which had only been found in the DNA of one member of Australia\u2019s Western Desert Aboriginal people. \u201cAt the time, it was assumed to be a new Rhesus type that had arisen in Australia,\u201d Condemi said. The rare Rhesus type has also now been found in 80 people from Papua New Guinea. \u201cNow we know that it had existed in the past and was lost,\u201d Condemi explained.
