There has only been one Stone Age. The Stone Age refers to the era when man learnt to make tools and weapons from rock and stone. The Stone Age was between 6,000 BC and 2,500 BC for the majority of humanity, though some of humanity came out of the Stone Age early upon discovering metals.
The three periods of the Stone Age are Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. It's difficult to determine exactly when stone axes started to appear exactly because different groups of humanity entered the Stone Age at different times. However it is believed the first axe may have been created during the middle of the Palaeolithic stage of the Stone Age.
Hand axes were mainly used during the Lower Paleolithic period, which falls under the Old Stone Age, also known as the Paleolithic era. This period dates back to around 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago.
There were no hand axes at the beginning of the Pleistocene, and none at the end, but for one million years in between, this was the tool of choice for stone age man. Although ever present in Stone Age culture, the exact purpose and use of this tool remain a mystery.
In the Stone Age, humans left behind tools made of stone such as arrowheads, axes, and knives. They also left behind cave paintings, burial sites, and evidence of early agricultural practices.
The Old Stone Age, or Paleolithic Era, dates back to around 2.5 million years ago and is characterized by the use of basic stone tools. The New Stone Age, or Neolithic Era, began around 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture, settled communities, and more advanced stone tools such as polished axes. The transition from the Old Stone Age to the New Stone Age marked a shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a more sedentary and agricultural way of life.
Stone Age people used materials such as wood, animal hides, and reeds to construct their shelters. Tools such as stone axes, bone needles, and animal sinew were used for construction and securing materials together. The type of shelter built varied depending on the region and resources available to the Stone Age people.

Bronze dates from the new stone age or neolithic period. In the old stone age or paleolithic period, tools were made only of stone (hand axes and arrow heads mostly).
Hand axes were mainly used during the Lower Paleolithic period, which falls under the Old Stone Age, also known as the Paleolithic era. This period dates back to around 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago.

Stone age men made the first axes at least 2.5 million years ago.
In the Stone Age, humans left behind tools made of stone such as arrowheads, axes, and knives. They also left behind cave paintings, burial sites, and evidence of early agricultural practices.
People began using axes during the Stone Age, around 6,000 to 8,000 years ago, with the earliest known examples being made from stone. These early axes were primarily used for chopping wood and hunting. The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age around 3,300 BCE led to the creation of bronze axes, which further improved their effectiveness and durability. Over time, axes evolved into various forms, becoming essential tools in agriculture, construction, and warfare.
