Abstract

Circumcision is arguably the oldest surgical procedure, preformed since before recorded history. This paper looks at its history and speculates on why and how it spread; at what it can teach us about the origins of the Bantu tribes of Southern Africa; all of whom practice circumcision, and finally looks at medical aspects of circumcision and its place in developing societies.
