Attention span has nothing to do with making a connection between
Sexual Intercourse and pregnancy.  What matters is pattern matching,
which happens to be one of the most extraordinary activities noticeble
in higher, and some lower life forms.  Ever try to figure out how
much pattern matching your pets can do?

The reports of human tribes unable to make the connection keep getting
repudiated by researchers with better field techniques.  I don't
believe there are any such tribes.  Old anthropological reports are
clearly short on studies of how the researcher was being fooled.
