Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

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.
