Yep, they say that the first sign of civilization is from 15.000 years ago, a bone that was broken and healed. This means that somebody took care of that person, and fed him until he got better. So yeah, this would be the oldest sign of charity.

But, is it charity, or is it just the way a proper community should function? Is the value of the healed person greater than the cost of them dying prematurely perhaps? Not sure.
This is debatable as we have no idea what happened 15.000 years ago. It is just showing compassion and feelings being involved. A superior intelligence. While right now you kind of feel that we are going backwards.
