I unfortunately don't have any sources, but a few years ago I read or watched a video about an interview with a paleontologist who was asked about their opinion of the first sign of civilization

Their answer was "a fossil of a skeleton with a broken and healed leg"

Every other animal dies with a broken leg in nature, the only way to survive is with the support of others

It is a nice story, but, most likely, fake...

FYI your link isn't showing up (I only knew it existed because I saw the markdown when trying to reply) so nobody knows you're backing up your claim!
