Stone Age

Prehistoric period before metal tools

Stone Age ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos

The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make stone tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years and ended between 4000 BC and 2000 BC, with the advent of metalworking. It therefore represents nearly 99.3% of human history.
