The Originations of the ‘Stone Age’
Stone Age was the earliest known period of human culture, and was characterized by the usage of stone tools. The term ‘Stone age’ was coined in the late 19th century by the Danish scholar Christian J Thomson. It is also known as the ‘Three age system’ as it mainly consisted of three ages : Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age and the Neolithic Age.
