[quote=Anonymous]I was reading about the Windover archaeology discovery and was touched, and saddened, when I read the following: "...the type of life people lived [b]seven to eight thousand years ago.[/b] Apparently, they were more caring and less nomadic than was generally believed. In one case, the skeleton of a woman who was [b]more than 50 years old [/b]when she died, showed that she had suffered multiple bone fractures several years before her death. Her injuries would have kept her from functioning in a normal way for an extended period. During that time others would have cared for her and assumed the work she would normally have done." Touched because people thousands of years ago cared and fed an elderly infirm woman, despite how difficult life was and how precious food and resources were. She was not a burden. Saddened because so many would not do the same today. [/quote]
