PRECISION CIRCUMCISIONS.

PRECISION CIRCUMCISIONS.

 
(Severed foreskins have all sorts of adventures.)
 
Bryan B Fuller is the world's top expert on skin colour in human foreskins.
 
Professor Fuller's foreskin research is based at the University of Oklahoma, where he is an associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology.

A research paper he co-authored with four colleagues in 1990 is the most-cited study on the topic.

The paper, "The Relationship Between Tyrosinase Activity and Skin Color in Human Foreskins", appeared in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

It makes lively reading. The scientists pre-select their foreskins on the basis of race. The paper explains that "The race of the child was determined from the race of both parents.

Foreskins were only used from children whose parents were either racially caucasian or black.
No foreskins from racially mixed marriages were used."
 
Fuller's patent for using foreskins to test skin-tanning solutions is the 'ne plus ultra' on how to use foreskins to test skin-tanning solutions.

One of his main aims, his website informs us, is "to develop skincare products that can stimulate melanin production (tanning) in fair-skinned individuals".

Five of his 11 foreskin-related patents, though, are about how to make skin become lighter.
The newest, called "Method for Causing Skin Lightening", features a 1,300-word exposition about foreskins.

Scientists of an earlier generation fondly recall DA Pious and RN Hamburger's study of 50 cultures of human foreskin cells, published in 1964.
Pious and Hamburger, however, had little to say about the colour of the foreskins.
