There’s a long, long list of tribes that think infant male circumcision is a sign they’ve fulfilled their gods’ commandment, or more commonly male circumcision at puberty as a passage into manhood.

The infants don’t remember the event, but the pubescent boys certainly do, and they make sure to pass it along to their own sons.
