Is Rh-Negative Blood Alien In Origin?
For decades, the origin of Rh-negative blood has puzzled scientists. While most humans carry the Rhesus (Rh) factor protein—inherited from a common ancestor—a small percentage of the population does not. This biological anomaly has led to both scientific and metaphysical theories, from evolutionary mutation to ancient alien crossbreeding.

What Is Rh-Negative Blood?
Discovered in 1940, Dr. Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener, the Rh factor is a protein on the surface of red blood cells, named after the Rhesus macaque monkey. Blood lacking this protein is called Rh-negative. This is a critical factor in human health, especially during pregnancy.
- Rh Incompatibility: If an Rh-negative woman is pregnant with an Rh-positive baby, her body may produce antibodies that attack the fetus, a condition known as hemolytic disease.
- Medical Solutions: Modern medicine uses Rh-D immunoglobulin to prevent this reaction, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.
This biological incompatibility between Rh-negative and Rh-positive types is a key point for those who question its evolutionary origin.
Where Is Rh-Negative Blood Most Common?
The highest concentration of Rh-negative blood is found in the Basque region, a small area on the Iberian Peninsula between France and Spain.
- Up to 40% of the Basque population is Rh-negative.
- Basque people speak an indigenous, non-Indo-European language, which is isolated from other European languages.
- One scientific explanation for these distinct traits is that the Basque people became genetically and culturally isolated thousands of years ago, preserving their unique characteristics.
Ancient and Spiritual Theories on Rh-Negative Blood
While science points to a rare genetic mutation, other theories suggest an otherworldly origin.
- Alien Crossbreeding: One theory proposes that an alien species with Rh-negative blood interbred with early humans, creating a hybrid bloodline. Proponents of this idea often compare it to hybrid animals, like the infertile mule (horse and donkey) or liger (lion and tiger), which result from incompatible genetic structures. The incompatibility between Rh-negative mothers and Rh-positive babies is seen as a parallel to these animal hybrids.
- The Nephilim and Anunnaki: Esoteric and spiritual traditions offer their own explanations.
- Nephilim: In biblical lore, the Nephilim were human-angel hybrids created when fallen angels, known as the Watchers, mated with humans. Some believe that survivors of the Great Flood—and their Rh-negative blood—carried on this unique bloodline.
- Anunnaki: Another theory alleges that the Anunnaki, an extraterrestrial race from ancient Mesopotamian texts, engineered or crossbred with humans, resulting in the Rh-negative blood type
While there’s not much grounding evidence for these alleged characteristics, some have pointed to instances of red-haired rulers in ancient civilizations throughout the world as potentially having some connection.
For example, in South America, some of the bizarrely-shaped, oblong Paracas skulls were found to have red hair in an area where that hair color isn’t native. The gene for red hair originates in the Middle East and Europe. Breakaway archeologists, like L.A. Marzulli, have connected these red-haired skulls to the Nephilim. Could the Rh-negative blood type be another connecting factor?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Are there any known physical or mental characteristics of people with Rh-negative blood?
A: According to some unsubstantiated theories, people with Rh-negative blood may have certain traits, such as higher than average IQ, lower body temperature, or a predilection for psychic phenomena. However, scientists question the evidence to support these claims. - Q: Does Gaia have content about ancient human origins and extraterrestrial connections?
A: Yes. Gaia’s original series, such as Ancient Civilizations and Initiation, dive deep into alternative history, cosmic origins, and suppressed knowledge. You can also explore our library of films and documentaries on the Anunnaki, Nephilim, and other ancient mysteries. - Q: Is there a connection between red hair and Rh-negative blood?
A: Some people have pointed to a potential link between red hair and Rh-negative blood, citing instances of red-haired rulers in ancient civilizations and the red-haired Paracas skulls found in South America. While the gene for red hair is most common in the Middle East and Europe, a direct genetic link to the Rh-negative blood type has not been scientifically established.

An Evolution of Ancient Astronaut Theory's Proof and Proponents
Religion molds many people’s worldview and beliefs about our origin as a species. From a young age, and even as we grow older, we tend to hold on to aspects of those stories – many of which involve magic or divine phenomena. But as technology has progressed over those years, things that once seemed magical, now make perfect sense and fall within the widening realm of possibility. And as our modern worldview has become shaped by this techno-centric, materialist scope, the ancient astronaut theory has found an increasingly larger audience.
If you’re not familiar with Gaia’s content, maybe you’ve seen the program Ancient Aliens on History Channel, or possibly read Erich von Däniken’s classic book Chariots of the Gods? These series are founded on the ancient astronaut hypothesis; the assertion that if you reinterpret biblical accounts of supernatural gods with magic powers instead, as members of an advanced extraterrestrial race with advanced technology, their depictions make a lot more sense.
Arthur C. Clarke famously made this contention later when he said, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” And though it’s unclear whether Clarke ascribed to the belief, it’s likely he would have at least entertained it.
