In the courts of Ancient Rome, when a man was testifying, he would swear on his testicles, which is where the term ‘testify’ comes from. However, other primates have been doing this practice for millions of years.

Idiot commenter 2. Moron. Witness comes from testis.
Fukin idiots commenter cretins. It says Ancient Rome cretin, not million years..
Also wrong: Primates did definitely not held court for millions of years. I doubt they were swearing on their private parts, too. Is kind of difficult if spoken language doesn’t exist.
Wrong. Testis means witness.
