The Neolithic or New Stone Age began around 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age. This period was characterized by the development of agriculture and the domestication of animals, leading to settled communities and the rise of complex societies.


The stone age is also called what?

Well, the Stone age is broken down into 3 periods, because it lasted so long. The first period is the paleolithic period ( Old Stone Age ) which began more than 2 million years ago. The second period was the mesolithic period ( Middle Stone Age ) which started around 10,000 BC. The next and last period is the neolithic period (new stone age) which started around 8,ooo BC. That didn't really answer your question.. But it's still knowledge! >: )
