I read once that the first sign of civilization wasn’t a weapon. It was a cured broken femur because that means someone took care of the person with the broken leg. So maybe that should be the guide to follow: medicine and healthcare.
We have found signs of trepanation that are surprisingly ancient (before bronze if I’m not mistaken). It shows both a decent understanding of physiology and of technique.
