Evolutionary Evidence of Circumcision (I)
I am not a scientific university researcher. However, I did go to MIT and Harvard, have studied evolution, and have studied the Word of God in many different languages.
Circumcision is a complicated topic. It is in the Bible as The Word of God in the book of Genesis. This is written about in Part II of this series. Spoiler alert: Jesus then told the world that God eliminated that rule, and the only Rule was to Follow Christ Our Lord and his Word in the Bible.
Galatians 5:6 which states, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value”. — Google AI
However, I also am a medicine woman who lives in Peru, and am always interested in why somebody would ever tell somebody to do something so egregious.
One theory I have is that circumcision began in our evolutionary history of humanity due to uncleanliness. The population decided to begin cutting off men’s genitals because the conditions were not like they are today. There were not a lot of very good ways to shower. Not everybody showered, due to poverty, and due to not enough tools. In the tribalism of Africa, it may have been cleaner. However, with industrialism, like with the Spanish Flu, disease becomes rampant.
Therefore, to save the male and female population, they may have decided it was a good idea. STDs could have been rampant without this practice.
However, note that it may have also been used as a tool of subjugation (Definition: the action of bringing someone or something under domination or control.)
It began in Africa and was practiced also in the Middle East. As you know, it is very common amongst the Jewish population. It is/was a tradition, for the health and safety of the community, or for subjugation, or to decrease sexual satisfaction (learn about Female Genital Mutilation in Part III).
I believe this is why Judas was the defector among Jesus’s disciples. If the loins of God was cut off, so was Compassion. Hence, Jesus also caused a ruckus in the market. However, let’s also not assume Judas didn’t have evil, greedy, selfish intentions.
But it was not Jesus’s fault. He was God. The Father told him everything that would happen, and he told his disciples so.
With the loins of men cut off, so was brotherhood. Hence, war, poverty, etc.
Prophet Mohammad, the last prophet of the Abrahamic faith, I believe was tasked with helping to solve this conundrum.
He gave certain suggestions, one mainly being cleaning yourself before prayer, five times a day. You clean your feet, your legs, your arms, your hands. This practice could help save men from having to be circumcised. Cleanliness prevents diseases.
Some Christians also broke free from this practice due to Christ. There were many rules at the time. Hundreds. People were being manipulated, conned, and deceived. So, Christ was born.
Christ told the public, the only Law is Love.
Therefore, some Christians broke free from this tradition of circumcision, but the Jews stayed circumcised due to their tradition.
The Christians migrated North and in the future, and in America we started manufacturing and showering. Therefore, we no longer need to be circumcised.
I believe scientists need a new approach to this issue.
New question: Are men who shower and clean their shoes regularly and change their socks at night at less risk of getting STDs and cancer? Also, what about their female partners? Do men and women just need to perspire and shower all of the pollutants and toxins out of their bodies for their penises and vaginas to be healthy?
Do we really need to cut their penises off?
Or do we need a campaign to educate them about being clean?
It is 4,000 years since the Bible was written. It is time for an update. We now have showers. This is an anarchic practice.
It could be evolutionarily changing our species into an entirely different type of homo sapien. One who doesn’t feel, sense, intuit. Why is America in the state it is in today? The majority of men have their “tip” cut off. Could they be more sociopathic because they do not have sensorial organ? Would they be more sensitive and compassionate with their penis intact? Taller, more masculine, less insecure, more brave?
Imagine cutting off the genitals of an animal. How cruel! It would lead to a different evolution of that species.
YIKES
The Jews have kept their tradition.
However, we are in the future now. Evolution exists. Science exists. Showers exist.
No more circumcision, more brotherhood, more sisterhood, more love, more cooperation, more peace.
Also, FYI, female genital mutilation happens in Africa. I used to live in Mali, West Africa where this was prevalent. It dampens women’s sexuality and power, as they are not able to feel their genitals. It dampens their sexual satisfaction (that was the point at that anarchic time; seems quite cruel today, right!). Remember too, that genes are passed on to males and females. So males are also at risk of evolutionary abnormalities too.
For men, they also may not be able to feel their angels, their children, or their mothers or wives. They would be terrified of being in Africa or the Jungle, as their genitals and connection to the earth would be gone. Imagine trying to fight a gorilla when your loins are dismembered.
By chance, I found some good news from Google AI:
Adult Male Prevalence in the USA:
A 2014 CDC analysis of NHANES data from 2005–2010 found an overall prevalence of about 80.5%.
Newborn Male Circumcision Rates in the USA:
These rates have fallen over time. A 2025 Johns Hopkins study reported a decline from 65.3% in 2012 to 60.0% in 2022 among white newborns, with other groups also showing decreases. — Google AI
That’s wonderful! Let’s bring it down to zero! It will take awhile for our species to evolve (for both men and women, as this effects everybody), and will depend on when your ancestry began this practice. Yet, the time to start is now. It will be a more kind, beautiful, healthy evolution of our species.
