The Stone Age is divided into two periods, the Old Stone Age, or Palaeolithic Period (Greek palaios "old" and lithos"stone"), and the New Stone Age, or Neolithic (neos"new").
These periods are defined based on cultural criteria, so they will cover different time periods in different areas depending on the timing of cultural developments. The dividing line between Palaeolithic and Neolithic is the invention of agriculture, and the endpoint of the Neolithic is defined as the development of iron tools. In the ancient Near East these dates are around 9500 B.C. and 1300 B.C. respectively. In the Western Hemisphere the Neolithic persisted until European contact, and there are still small pockets of the Neolithic today in places like the island of New Guinea.

What did the people grow on their farms in the new stone age?
Neolithic farmers grew pretty much the same things we grow on our farms today. Most of our main food crops were domesticated in prehistory and so the species available were largely the same as those today. In most Neolithic farming communities a combination of three main crop types were grown: cereals (such as wheat and maize), pulses (such as peas) and fibre crops (like cotton or flax for making cloth).

How are the Paleolithic and Neolithic ages alike?
i just did a project on this on Wednesday 8th, 2009. they are both ages except neolithic is more sufficient and more future like. i mean paleolithic is more before time and neolithic is more after. they both do the same thing like food gathering but that is the answer.

Are the new stone age and the neolithic era the same?
Yes, the terms "New Stone Age" and "Neolithic era" are often used interchangeably to refer to the same time period in human history. The Neolithic era is characterized by the development of agriculture, the domestication of animals, and the use of polished stone tools. It marks a significant shift from the Paleolithic era, or Old Stone Age, where humans relied primarily on hunting and gathering for survival.
Where does the name 'Neolithic' come from?
The English word Neolithic, "pertaining to the later Stone Age" was coined in 1865 by John Lubbock, who later became Baron Avebury (1834 - 1913). He also coined Paleolithic, "pertaining to the earlier Stone Age" that very same year.It means "neo" = new & "lithic" = stone or pertaining to the new(er) stone (age).
