An ex social worker, now an actor, tells us here backstage that a tribe was discovered many years ago, who had not made the connection between sexual intercourse and childbirth. He thinks in Borneo.
Can this possibly be true? I'm not putting money down that it's false.

I know of a tribe of pygmy's who lived in the long pampas grass of borneo, I think they were called the wherethefukarewes.

Melanesia, actually. it was the case at the beginning of the last century. Maybe they have figured it out by now or were told, but, see 'Sex and Repression in Savage Society' by Malinowski.

I could easily believe that it is entirely possible to not make a connection between sex and birth.

I think he was reading too much Jean Auel, but it is possible I suppose.

it would have had to have been many many many many
years ago. remember that they would have had to have
been so completely isolated that no one from another
tribe could have communicated the facts to them.
