Anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked what was the first sign of civilization in a culture. She said it was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
