watching some archaeology show, I forget which

archaeologist is asked what's the first sign of civilization; pottery, money, what

she points to a leg bone that was broken and healed

because without civilization they would have been left to the wolves

This was a major point in David Wengrow’s and David Graeber’s book. The Dawn of Everything. Worth a read.
@DavidMHarlan @disabledanarchist Their major point was that this took place much earlier in our history than we have previously realized.
