• Resumen

  • The spatial stratification of human and cultural facts on the one hand and of biological facts on the other have indeed attracted scholars' attention for a rather long time. With the discovery of the human blood groups in Würzburg, near Bamberg, Germany, early this century these interdisciplinary attempts gained new momentum. Is there a connection between blood group and membership in a tribe or race and between blood group and language, even between dialectal differences within individual languages? The latter aspect is being addressed in this article mainly with regard to England.
