You would need to look up phimosis on google and check out the images to understand the reasons for circumcision - it was not about being clean. google.com Here's some history for you - circumcision pre-dates recorded history for the reason the pictures above should explain. circinfo.net Circumcision pre-dates recorded history. It has been argued that the practice of circumcision, by freeing the penis of a phimotic foreskin, may have conferred a selective advantage that aided sexual intercourse and thus reproduction, so enhancing the competitive success of our species as it evolved [Cox, 1995; Cox & Morris, 2010]. As such it most likely existed before our species radiated out of Africa 70,000 years ago. This is more plausible than it having arisen independently in different parts of the world. Those cultures that do not currently practice circumcision are most likely to have stopped doing in in more recent times, rather than the other way around. Humans arrived in Australia 50,000 years ago and their paleolithic hunter-gatherer society was maintined until recent times. This included circumcision. Humans most likely evolved as a circumcising species. Those cultures that do not currently circumcise are ones that stopped doing it, not those that did not ever adopt circumcision [Cox & Morris, 2010].
