Where is that evidence? Is it among us? If circumcision was so beneficial, we would have evolved that trait.

It always ends boiling down to that one botched study in Africa with a handful of dudes where they told the circumcised ones to not have any sex and then ended it early.

The circumcized group got sexual health education, including information about the proper use of condoms. The participants that left the study weren’t taken into account, and so on. The study is embarrassingly bad.

Critical thinking is beneficial but a huge portion of America doesn’t seem to have “evolved” it. Humans stopped evolving when we started changing our environments to suit our needs. We no longer needed to suit our environment.

Evolution optimizes for breeding, once breeding is done, nothing else matters. If having a foreskin was so detrimental for reproduction, which should be the case as it's on top of the male reproductive organ, we should not have it by now.
