Religion and Morality.

^^^ Basic human DNA programming shows that human morals are based on "love your neighbor as yourself." Such is beneficial for all people.

Humans have lived in social groups for a very long time. Altruism evolves through natural selection. Think about it. A proto-human in a forest spots a predator. He has time to warn one of his colleagues. Does he warn the one who is always kind to him, or does he warn the selfish shit who no-one likes? Who dies, who survives to parent the next generation?

I'm simplifying of course, but this is a valid behaviour.

Altruism devolves. All you need to do is look at how the politicians are leaching off the people. Read this to see it plainly - http://stopthepirates.blogspot.com/.

There is nothing to study.  Circumcision is bodily mutilation. Perpetuated by primitive people.

I don't know if you know but in Australia and New Zealand.
 10 to 20% of men are circumcised.
And this is not because there are 10 to 20% of jew ....  those religions are almost nonexistent.
I wouldn't call new zealander or australian primitive

And according to the same source, up to 60% of the american men are also circumcised.
I wouldn't call american primitive people

The frequency of circumcision varies from country to country. In New Zealand and Australia the rate is approximately 10-20% of boys but as mentioned above there are significant cultural differences. Rates of circumcision, for comparison, are much higher in the USA - up to 60% -, 6% in the UK and in Europe the rate is lower at less than 2% in some countries.

And how many of them had a say in the matter? None.

People who self mutilate, or mutilate their children are primitive simpletons.

you clearly didn't check the source.

The main reasons that I have encountered for circumcision in New Zealand are:
~~
TEENAGERS
Cultural reasons, particularly in the Polynesians, Phillipinos, Fijians


~~
REASONS FOR CIRCUMCISION:
Cultural Reasons

Some cultures strongly believe in circumcision, and circumcision is an integral part of their culture. Notably the Pacific Islanders in New Zealand have an almost 100% circumcision rate. The Pacific Islanders traditionally choose to have circumcision performed in late childhood or early puberty as a rite of passage to manhood.

 I guess you can argue that even as a teenagers they don't really have a choice if they don't want to be seen as un-manly dude.

This is slightly off topic.
