The ten societies with biologically unnatural SRBs examined thus far represent most of the world’s major religious and cultural traditions: Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. However, these are by no means the only contemporary settings in which evidence of the phenomenon is emerging at a population-wide level (tables 2, 3). Recent vital statistics for places with complete or near-complete registration or census returns point to almost twenty additional countries or territories with populations of 1 million or greater having an SRB above 107. Other places in Asia with suspiciously high recent SRBs and/or child sex ratios include the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, Papua New Guinea, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey. In the Middle East/North Africa, both Lebanon and Libya betray the same demographic characteristics. In Latin America and the Caribbean, elevated SRBs or child sex ratios are seen in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and El Salvador, but it is important to recognize that the phenomenon is now evident in over half a dozen European countries as well. Albania’s officially reported 2004 SRB was 113. In Serbia and Montenegro - portions of the former Yugoslavia - 2008 SRBs were 109 and 108, respectively, and in the nominally Catholic-majority populations of Austria (2008), Italy (2005), Portugal (2008), and Spain (2008), officially reported SRBs were all an anomalous 107.

Philippines (2007)	109	93,261,000

Biologically impossible SRBs are also now seen in the USA and the UK - within particular ethnic groups. In America, SRBs of 108 were characteristic of the ‘Asian-Pacific’ populations such as Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, and Filipino-Americans in the 2000 census [34] and in vital statistics thereafter - populations whose SRBs were within the ‘natural’ biological range a generation ago. In England and Wales, SRBs for Indian-born mothers have also risen markedly, from 104 in the 1980s to 108 in the late 1990s [35]. In both the USA and the UK, these gender disparities were due largely to sharp increases in higher-parity SRBs, strongly suggesting that sex-selective abortions were the driver. The US and UK cases also point to the possibility that sex-selective abortion may be common to other subpopulations in developed or less developed societies, even if these do not affect overall SRBs for the country as a whole.
