Abstract

Weiss examines the ethnological, medical, and psychoanalytic literature to better understand what incites preliterate and literate societies to practice male circumcision. The review suggests there is vast cross-cultural variability for the operation and the resulting implications, or lack thereof, but no hypothesis tests are made.

Note

A review with no statistical analyses.
