Stone Age Histroy





Stone Age is a large scale during the period prior to the date and time that humans are using on a large scale for the manufacture of stone tools.

Stone tools were made from a variety of different types of stone. For example, it was in the form of flint and a pure (or chipped) for use as cutting tools and weapons, while basalt and sandstone were used stone tools to the ground, such as quern and stones. Wood, bone, shell, antler (deer) and other materials used on a large scale, as well. During the latter part of this period, sediments (like clay) were used for making pottery. A series of technological innovations, metal, marked the Copper Age in the later (Copper Age) and Bronze Age and Iron Age.

From 2.7-2.58 Mya [1] including the first use of stone tools at Gona, Ethiopia, proliferation and use of widely elsewhere shortly thereafter [1]. And ends with the development of agriculture, the domestication of some animals, and smelting of copper ore to produce metals. It describes humanity since prehistoric times did not start after the start of traditional historical writing (ie recorded history).

It is the age of first in the age of three system. And the partition of the Stone Age to the parts of the older and younger was first proposed by Jens Jacob Worsaae in 1859 through his work with Danish kitchen middens that began in 1851. [2] units in the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Mesolithic periods, which are still in use today have been, according to John Lubbock in his now classic 1865 book by Times history. These three periods are further subdivided. In fact, the succession of stages vary greatly from one region (and culture) to another, and even humanity continue to expand in new areas even during times of mineral. Therefore, it is better to talk about the Stone Age, instead of the Stone Age. He also described the people living today, the term stone age is controversial. Association of Social Anthropologists discourages this use
