abstract: |-
We examine the implications of IR Cohen's 'cognitive
principle' address of the immune system [1-3] for the HIV
vaccine program. This approach takes on a special
importance in the context of recent work by Nisbett et al.
[4] showing clearly that central nervous system (CNS)
cognition is fundamentally different for populations having
different cultural systems, and in the context of a growing
body of evolutionary anthropology which suggests that such
effects are inevitable, since culture is as much a part of
human biology 'as the enamel on our teeth'.
