Paleolithic Period, Mesolithic Period, and Neolithic Period

The Stone Age, a prehistoric cultural stage, is divided into three distinct periods based on the sophistication of stone tools:

1. Paleolithic Period: This earliest stage began around 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 8000 BCE. During this time, humans used basic stone tools.
2. Mesolithic Period: Following the Paleolithic era, the Mesolithic period featured finer tools and lasted until around 4000 BCE.
3. Neolithic Period: The final stage, starting around 4000 BCE, saw significant advancements in toolmaking and the emergence of agriculture and pottery.
