Thank you, I see what you are saying now. Some of our adaptations are far from perfect, and the fact that they exist are not conclusive proof about objective benefits. Ex. why do we have appendixes?

Foreskins are an ancient and prevalent adaptation in the mammal kingdom, and I think it is fair to give some weight to the idea that they are "beneficial", but this is not a certainty on evolutionary grounds alone.
