We have skeletal remains showing healed leg fractures going back over a million years bp. In order for that person to survive long enough to have the bone heal other members of the group/clan had to take care of him. Other animals simply do not do that. If a lion is injured in a hunt it either lives or dies on its own.
Except that breaking a bone isn't directly related to a heritable trait. Presumably, those that have c-sections primarily are the ones for whom it is warranted. This is precisely the trait that would have culled these women from the gene pool were it not for cesarian sections.
It's not the bone that matters its the evidence of communal living and caring for injured members of the group. We're not going to find evidence of someone who tears a knee ligament and can't walk because the soft tissue will not survive.
Besides, clumsy hunters who get killed off would probably have cleaned the gene pool. Assholes who keep them alive are probably what gave us this moron.
