Answer 1

Explanation:
This is a three mark question. So the best approach would be to state three bullet points to fetch us enough marks.

Answer:

• The Stone Age marks a period of prehistory in which stone was widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface.
• The Stone Age begins with the first production of stone tools and ends with the first use of bronze.
• The Stone Age is divided into three periods: the Paleolithic period, the Mesolithic period, and the Neolithic period. Each of these periods is based on the sophistication of the tools our ancestors made. During the Paleolithic period, they made very simple tools. By the end of the Neolithic period, tools and their usage had become more complex and specialised.
