Born of woman? If there have been a historical Jesus which in the time this epistle was asserted as being written (50's AD), there would have been people still alive who would have personally know this Jesus. So making such a statement like this would be unnecessary.
So is it in your Best estimation that the majority of those people who knew of Christ lived in Galatia (Northern turkey 6400+ miles) from jerusalem??? And that paul did have to state that God was born of woman as a living and breathing man because they would have known... 64/65 hundred miles away in a time when people had no way of knowing these kind of things unless someone like Paul Told Them...
Because, there was a mass exodus of believer and witnesses of Christ to Galatia...
Actually the distance between Northern Turkey and what is now Israel was some 800 miles, which your estimate is off by a factor of 8. Also in the Roman Empire (which Galatia was a part of) there was a very good transport network, which allowed a degree of mobility unparalleled until the age of steam ships.
