First of all, I imagine that there are a number of things that the alien zoologists are going to be completely dumbstruck by ;-)

Like winston, I have never considered that circumcision could be, on a subconscious level, a way to eliminate male competition. That said, it is the parents of the male that perform this and it's in their best interest to ensure that their blood line continue and not to encumber their male offspring. For this reason I find no validity in this thought.
