Contrary to that, I've also read that evidence has been found (forget where/when) that quite sick and badly physically disabled people were well looked after in the Neolithic/Bronze Age, evidence being that the skeletal remains showed they liver longer than could have been expected with the physical ailments they had.


Yes, it doesn't sit well next to ideas of inter-personal violence does it?

However, the man found in WKLB that George mentioned earlier (LSA near throat, possibly murdered) may have suffered from Spina Bifida. He certainly had a spinal collapse. He was old when he died.
He also had various other injuries (an arm fracture iirc) that had healed.
