A student asked the renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead what she considered the first sign of civilization.

a healed femur.

Why? a broken leg meant death.

You cannot hunt. You cannot flee predators.

A healed femur means someone stayed.

Someone helped and cared for the injured until recovery.
