What were the three periods of stone age?

The three periods of the Stone Age were the Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age, and the Neolithic Age. During the Paleolithic Age hunting and gathering were the way of life.

What did stone age people use to make tools?

stone age people from the 'old stone age' or the paleolithic era used large dense stones to hit and chip away smaller softer stones to make arrow heads for spears as well as knives ; paleolithic people would usually keep there stone as a tool to continue to make other weapons later on. Stone age people from the 'new stone age' or neolithic era used methods like chipping and grinding more prevalently to create tools and weapons.


How did stone age improve over time?

An important development for early people was the use of technology-the application of knowledge tools and materials to make life easier. The first tools that people made were crude chipped stones. Over time people learned to make better tools out of wood and bone as well as stone. For example people learned to attach wooden handles to tools. By attaching a wooden handle to a stone arrow, people invented the spear. With spears, hunters could stand farther away from their prey and throw their weapons, which was safer. Another tool called a spear thrower, enabled stone age hunters to throw spear farther than by hand. As a result, hunters could take down larger prey, such as bison and mam-moths, which resembled large elephants. Early humans gradually learned gradually learned to make more refined and specialized tools. Later stone age people learned to make string from plant fibers and animal sinew. People then used the string to make nets and other traps to capture fish and small animals. Other new tools and weapons included the bow and arrow, bone hooks and fishing spears. To travel by water some people learned to make canoes by hollowing out logs. Such development greatly improved stone age life! Hope i helped! x
