The Three Stone Age Eras
Summary
TLDRThe Stone Age is divided into three periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. The Paleolithic began with humans using flint for tools, living nomadically, and hunting wild horses and deer. The Mesolithic saw a warmer climate, with hunter-gatherers focusing on deer and wild boar, and the development of new hunting tools. The Neolithic marked the shift to farming with domesticated animals, crop cultivation, and the construction of burial mounds and monuments. Individual burials became more common towards the end of this period.
