You list other animals as positive examples and then say yourself that our life wouldn't be like other animals.

When we were still small hunter gatherer groups, individuals who made problems or simply weren't strong enough or a bit sick would cold heartedly be left behind alone which was a death sentence for early humans sooner or later.

    This is unequivocally false and we have many examples of deformed individual from 8000+ years ago being not only bruised but cared for until a long age and in many cases decorated. Have you ever considered the possibility that unless absolutely necessary or atleast in most societies, most would care for the weak, sick, deformed, mentally ill. Your mindset of history comes from an hobbsian notion of the rough and brutish hunter gathers which has absolutely no scientfiic base

    Also read Dawn of everything and humankind for more sources and more then I could possibly give.

    But simply put. You are incorrect
