I think that humans figured that out pretty fast. Other animals do. Also, I don't think that sexual oppression came because people didn't understand how babies came out or that anyone in here was trying to say that.

It's just how some people are because.... all thier behaviour is purely a product of thier 'nature' and has nothing to do with experience or environment...OR are they 'just the way they are' thanks to thier cultural programming? Hmm...
I don't buy the notion that women were subjugated long before sexual reproduction was understood. Various cultures have varying concepts of how relevant men are to the making of babies, but the level of complexity is not a predictor of a culture realizing that sex has something to do with it. Very 'primitive' societies are just as capable as more so called 'advanced' societies to figure out that sex = baby.
There is no way for a man to know a baby is his unless he is sure that the women isn't sleeping with anyone else. In a patrilineal society, men have a prerogative for wanting to ensure the child they accept into thier line is indeed thier child and hence the development of controlling women's sexuality.

I knew a blonde woman who gave birth and asked the doctor, "How can I be sure it is mine?"

What about binary fission?

MT that wasn't what I was saying. Niam got what I was trying to say better.
There's an interesting book about this subject. This thread has got me wanting to read it.
 Women's history and ancient history by Sarah Pomeroy.
Haven't read it yet but after I do I'll come back and debate this point some more.
