Paleolithic Definition: The Stone Age (known to scholars as the Paleolithic era) in human prehistory is the name given to the period between about 2.5 million and 20,000 years ago. It begins with the earliest human-like behaviors of crude stone tool manufacture, and ends with fully modern human hunting and gathering societies. The Paleolithic is the earliest archaeology; anything older is paleontology. paleontology

Mesolithic The Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age[1] was a period in the development of human technology in between the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age and the Neolithic or New Stone Age.[1]PaleolithicNeolithic The word "Mesolithic" is derived from the Greek words mesos, meaning "middle", and lithos, meaning "stone".Greek The term "Mesolithic" was introduced by John Lubbock in his work Pre-historic Times, published in The term was, however, not much used until V. Gordon Childe popularized it in his book The Dawn of Europe (1947).[2]John LubbockV. Gordon Childe[2] Recently, Ray Mears and paleoethnobotanist Gordon Hillman have brought the term 'Mesolithic' back into the public arena, prompting individuals to learn more about it and the diets of Mesolithic people through the popular BBC 2 broadcast 'Ray Mears' Wild Food'.Ray MearsGordon Hillman

Neolithic The Neolithic[1] (from Greek νεολιθικός — neolithikos, from νέος neos, "new" + λίθος lithos, "stone") or "New" Stone Age, was a period in the development of human technology beginning about 10,000 B.C. in the Middle East[2] that is traditionally the last part of the Stone Age, beginning with the rise of farming, which produced the "Neolithic Revolution" and ending when metal tools became widespread in the Copper Age (chalcolithic) or Bronze Age or developing directly into the Iron Age, depending on geographical region.[1]GreekStone AgehumantechnologyMiddle East[2]Stone AgeNeolithic RevolutionmetaltoolschalcolithicBronze AgeIron Age Neolithic culture appeared in the Levant (Jericho, modern- day West Bank) about 8500 BC. It developed directly from the Epipaleolithic Natufian culture in the region, whose people pioneered wild cereal use, which then evolved into true farming. By 8500–8000 BC farming communities arose in the Levant and spread to Asia Minor, North Africa and North Mesopotamia.LevantJerichoEpipaleolithicNatufian

Neolithic Revolution The Neolithic Revolution was the first agricultural revolution—the transition from hunting and gathering communities and bands, to agriculture and settlement. It occurred in various independent prehistoric human societies 10–12 thousand years ago.agricultural revolutionhunting and gatheringagriculturehuman societies The term refers to both the general time period over which these initial developments took place and the subsequent changes to Neolithic human societies which either resulted from, or are associated with, the adoption of early farming techniques, crop cultivation, and the domestication of animals.[1][2]Neolithichumansocietiesfarming domestication[1][2]
