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! >: )
