A study of the ABO blood groupings and the anthropometric traits of the ethnic groups in Benin City were conducted. Results of the ABO blood groups showed a distribution of 57.02% for group O, 23.4% for group A, 17.57% for group B and 1.99% for group AB in the sampled population. Data from the anthropometric traits showed no significant difference between the traits of the three ethnic groups. However, the Northern and Southern ethnic groups tended to have more traits in common. Key words: Blood groups, anthropometric, antigens, plasma.
