by the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner, who found three different blood types in 1900 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 for his work.

in Africa discovered by monkeys in a lab from blood tests of some types of animals
He had red blood. Seriously, though, blood types were discovered in 1900, so it was before his time. A 1975 analysis of one of his hairs indicated type B, but due the limited sample, may not be accurate.
In the year 1900, an Austrian Scientist, Karl Landsteiner, discovered iso-agglutination, the phenomenon wherein red corpuscles and serum of the animal species are clumped together. On carrying out further experiments on blood, Landsteiner discovered that agglutinogens when mixed with agglutinins of another blood types produced fatal agglutination. These agglutinogens were named as A and B, and their respective agglutinins were named alpha and beta respectively. With this discovery, the question of blood group incompatibility was explained. Later, he discovered another blood type and named it O. In 1907, another scientist Jansky discovered a fourth type of blood, it was named AB. This discovery was corroborated by Moss in 1910. These agglutinogens and agglutins were renamed as antigens and antibodies respectively, specific to the blood.
The ABO blood group system was discovered in 1900 by Karl Landsteiner. The AB blood group was discovered by Von Decastellor and Sturli in 1902.
