6 Quotes About Stone Age

The Stone Age was a period of human history distinguished by the use of stone tools. Although stone tools had been used to help cut and process foodstuffs since the Paleolithic era, it was only with the development of the ability to smelt ore in smelters that widespread production of metal tools could begin. The Stone Age lasted roughly 3.8 million years and ended between 6000 BC and 2000 BC, when copper and bronze tools became widespread, copper smelting being first discovered in about 2500 BC. The Stone Age is followed by the Bronze Age.
