    no there is evidence of pre-agricultural societies taking very good care of their disabled and elderly. Mind you the same has also been true for various agricultural societies

        well they weren't exactly moving in random directions they would probably have set paths they migrated on seasonally

      Yeah there is. Maybe not a lot of it, but there are plenty of corpses with healed broken bones. Sometimes very bad breaks. There are skeletons of people with severe disabilities, including one case of a probably female person who likely was unable to walk from infancy but died in her 20s or 30s. Her teeth also show abnormal decay which some archeologists suggest was because her family and friends were providing her with honey she would have been unable to gather herself.
