I struggle with the notion that all who do not believe will not go to heaven, because how can you believe if nobody has ever taught you Christianity?

God has put in the heart of every man the knowledge of Him.

Well first I think that God is not a direct translation of what you are referring to. If you mean the true creator, the non being that created everything then I think the man born alone would have a better chance at knowing the real creator than all the Christians put together, for they are under a spell and following an illusion created to keep them in a prison of the mind. If God is a big man in the sky then that god would be the one who created us. They are another race. They were also created. Each creation, if it survives long enough will learn to create yet another species and on and on and on for eternity.
I think that would be one blessed man to be free of all the dogma plaguing most of humanity.

I think that it could, and I think that there will be others there too. But not because they understood the names and places that are in the Bible, but because God gave them understanding that was personal to them. They perhaps did not partake in the tribal customs that the other people did, but stayed out at night and communicated or realized who God is.
This is why I think that:
Revelation 7
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And then there is this:
Romans 9
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15For he says to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."[f] 16It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
So God chooses like He has always chosen. I don't know how far He is willing to go to save those who have never heard, but I wouldn't put it beyond Him the bring someone understanding.

This is a very valid question. I think an isolated person would have an even better chance of coming to know God as Jesus himself suggested.... Worship in Spirit and in truth.
The word came to John the Baptist out in the desert. No one was there to teach him.
I think this excellent question raises even bigger ones that would lead me to think there is lots we don't know about the original Christians.

If a man was born without human contact, it is safe to assume one cannot read. Because he cannot read the Bible, and as such cannot know the power of God, not by his own will, but because of certain circumstances that do not allow him to understand God, do you still feel that he should be condemned to enernity in Hell?

first of all a human could not be born without any human contact....nor survive without any human contact. I do not struggle as you do in regards with the notion that all who do not believe will not go to heaven. i believe that to be true. we are held account able for our knowledge of the truth and if we choose to follow or not. those who do not know could not be held accountable however those who can and dont share will be held accountable for those they led or didnt lead astray.

We are taught in Romans that man will be judged by natural revelation. God in Nature if they have not heard the good news.
I will tell you a story.
I cant reacall who but he was a well know missionary who traveled to Africa. there he met a tribe who explained there beliefs to him. they told him they knew of sin, they learned from nature that they needed to be set free from it.
When he explained Jesus to them the whole tribe became Christians at once. Jesus was what they where looking for.
THe point is that if we are not in knowledge of Christ we will be judged according to what we know of GOd through nature. Read romans 1. people may not know Christ but they know sin and God naturally. GOd is Just, he will not let any suffer because of our lack of reaching them he will reach them for us. They will just be subject to a different judgment. we will have more responsibility if we know of Christ.

Religion is taught. It's the earliest and most effective form of brain washing.
A human with no outside contact will not have religion. It's been tested.

The only person to have been born with no human contact is Jesus....and he knew/understood God pretty well.

Its not possible for a man to born alone.
The only humans born are babies and they never born alone, they are always born alive from and with their mother.
Babies abandoned after birth die, they cannot survive without someone to care for them.
