How Long Have We Been Caring For Each Other?

When did practicing medicine - in its varied, complex forms (from sharing medicinal plants to the earliest surgeries) - become something that we actually started doing? While it’s a hard question to answer, it’s possible that our tendency to heal one another might have been with us for even longer than we've been human.

Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers for millions of years. Having to butcher their own catches gave them intimate knowledge of anatomy. It is not surprising they could perform complex surgery.

Ancient people: I cut through the leg carefully taking anatomy into consideration so my family member survives. People in the Civil War: So anyways I started sawing.

I have said it a thousand times and I will say it a thousand times more. Ancient doesn't equal stupid. Given that life, as it is generally accepted, appeared only once on our planet, our lineages have been around for quite a long time. We picked up a few things along the way.

Hey this is my lecturers work! Shout out to Renaud and his team, with Betty the multicollecter (ICP-MS), at Southern Cross Uni! Thanks for giving the date to the oldest currently known surgery patient!

Man that chimp footage was wild. It makes you wonder just how ancient some of our behaviors and activities are.

I’ve had a similar leg surgery to the first one mentioned and I’m still getting pain meds because of how painful it is a couple weeks later, I can’t imagine going through the surgery itself with nothing. That guy had guts of steel

Evidence that people lived despite not being able to survive on their own always gets me. Idk man... It's just natural to care for each other... And we always have cared for each other.... Shanidar 1 tugs on my heart strings 😭

You missed the fact that the Neanderthal Shanidar....or "Creb" if you're a Clan of the Cave Bear fan, DID have surgery to remove his damaged arm. He lived for decades after the surgery, even with other critical injuries. His injuries were most likely from an attack from a large animal that could have easily killed him, but someone performed the surgery and helped with his other serious wounds.

as a person who was once hospitalized on iv antibiotics due to an enormous dental abscess I deeply feel for that poor neanderthal

I'm Palaeolithic abthropologist / archaeologist by profession with two young sons and so I watch these episides with interest. This was a particularly excellent episode, that inspires further curiosity and research. My sons (one of who says he wants to become a doctor like his grandfather) loved it and did some more research and turned it into a report for this 5th grade class.

This is actually fascinating, seeing not only us taking care of each other way back but other species doing it as well. That’s so cool and yeah, does give me some hope

That Neanderthal art is so touching. The man caring for the child 5:17, and the woman with a flower in her hair, while dad carries the toddler 5:03. So beautiful.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve been able to watch a new Eons video this soon after release! And how fitting it’s this topic as I’m winding down after my night shift at the hospital 😂

Don't call this compassion! I got a surgery from that same caveman a few thousand years back, and I had to pay him 30,000 berries! That's over a 100,000 in today's market.

Oooh, I've been waiting for this episode since the research was released! Compassion and curiosity are an incredible pair of traits. Also, if this doesn't inspire at least one sci-fi novel, I'm going to be astonished. The implications of surgical knowledge being tens of thousands of years older than the longest-lasting, large-scale, societal structures that we know of are... fascinating and fraught.
