[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Margaret Meade talked about this caring for our frail and injured as a sign of civilization: “Such signs of healing are never found among the remains of the earliest, fiercest societies. In their skeletons we find clues of violence: a rib pierced by an arrow, a skull crushed by a club. But this healed bone shows that someone must have cared for the injured person—hunted on his behalf, brought him food, served him at personal sacrifice.”[/quote] Consider this - the Windover discovery was fairly recent (1980s) and it is an estimated 2,000 older than other civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, etc. And yes, some Windover skeletons had signs of violence but others, like this elderly woman and a disabled child, showed signs of long-term care.
