Abstract

A feral population of 183 Kenyan olive baboons representing 5 troops was surveyed for salivary ABO‐like antigens. Unlike previously reported populations, a high frequency of the O allele and low frequency of the B allele were detected. This observation may be the result of founder effect and/or genetic drift.
