The "Stone age" is the term for the believed prehistoric time before the Bronze Age when humans were able to craft tools of stone for production.[1] It is divided into two parts; Paleolithic and Neolithic. During the Paleolithic age, man harvested wild plants and animals for food. Agriculture began in the Neolithic age. The dates of the Stone age are debated but are generally accepted to be from 8,000 BC to 4,000 BC.[2]. The old stone age or Paleolithic corresponds to the Pleistocene epoch.
Young-Earth creationists believe that there was never a "stone age", but rather there have been stone cultures, especially following the dispersal of humanity from the Tower of Babel.[3]
