In the last 25 years of the 20th century, two events occurred that may affect cultural evolution into the foreseeable future. First, birth rates in a number of industrialized nations dropped below the level of population maintenance,and, second, the HIV/AIDS virus emerged, spread, and became embedded and endemic in many nations. The relationship between the spread of HIV/AIDS and several parameters of a nation's demography is empirically examined. Then, three distinct cultural responses to the incidence HIV/AIDS are examined in three regions of the world: Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, and a Muslim area stretching from Mauritania to Pakistan.

Key Words: cultural evolution • sexually transmitted diseases • gender roles
