    The document provides information about early human ancestors and the Stone Age. It discusses that humans evolved from ape-like creatures called hominids. During the Stone Age, which lasted from earliest times until 12,000 BCE, early humans used stones to make tools. The Stone Age is divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. The Paleolithic period saw the earliest stone tools including hand axes, cleavers, and scrapers. Mesolithic humans lived as hunter-gatherers using small stone tools called microliths. In the Neolithic period, humans began domesticating animals and leading settled lives.

    Neolithic or New stone age.
    The age was characterized by the use of microliths
    or small stone tools.
