I'm not saying she's necessarily wrong but that whole concept makes alot assumptions. There are many reasons, of which there is no way I'd be able to list them all, that this wouldn't really hold true. The first is that breaking femur is not easy. In fact most humans will live their entire lives without breaking it. It is entirely in the scope of reason to have a civilization go for decades or centuries without someone falling into this category. Second, if you do break a femur it was probably a pretty nasty injury. It's extremely likely that that wasn't the only injury and complications can occur quite easily. If the person died from an infection or as a result of other injuries then of course their femur wouldn't be healed. That doesn't mean someone wasn't there trying to take care of them. I'm sure there are lots more scenarios. While I get the intent of what she said as a professor I'd think she take a little more care in what she says.

you're not saying she is wrong then i will do it she is wrong. first it's all situational if i break my leg say on slippery rocks chasing salmon at the beginning of salmon season food and water are no problem (the season last more then long enough for a leg to heal) and I'll make a shelter even with a broken leg. and second being a hunter I've seen plenty of animals with severe wounds that were healed. broken legs/ribs from car hits, i had one i pulled a foot long piece of arrow out of that was healed long ago. as for the first sign of civilization maybe it's when humans stop killing each other.
