Examples The Black Death (see Barbara Tuchman ‘A Distant Mirror’) The extermination of colonial times – Tasmania Slavery? SMS texting with mobile phones?

What is AIDS? HIV / AIDS an historical event – so what is our historical perspective A candidate as a Darwinian Event?

Ozymandias I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read, Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed, And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Percy Bysshe Shelley

No Man is an Island No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee. -- John Donne

HIV/AIDS is an historical event! A ‘history’ is being written. The responsibilityof historians provide: ideas, paradigms & methodologies for understanding and responding

And finally There is an awful predictability about HIV/AIDS and what it has the potential to do. Historians have the unique experience of seeing an event of unparalleled significance unfold before their eyes. This history can be written in advance.
