What does the underlined part refer to?

Material remains from prehistoric sites clearly show that our distant ancestors thought that disease had a cause, and that someone could use that knowledge to help the sick person.


What is "that knowledge"?


Is it "that disease had a cause"?

Can knowing "that disease had a cause" alone help the sick person?


Thank you so much.
