what are classification of stone age?
Stone Age is classified into three:

The Paleolithic Age
The societies of human beings in the Paleolithic Age comprised small groups who hunted and gathered food. Food primarily consisted of plants and small animals and fishes that could be consumed without cooking. Knapped flint implements were used and bone and wood supplemented the use of stones. Animal skin, leather, and plant fiber made the crude clothes for the early humans.

The Mesolithic Age
From a hunter-gatherer society, human beings began experimenting with agriculture. Crude jewelry made of stone and shells belonging to this era have also been discovered, suggesting an upsurge in the creative instincts of human beings. Cave paintings and the discovery of music are also attributed to the Mesolithic Age.

The Neolithic Age.
The stone implements of this age were polished and rounded in shape and demonstrate the finesse of the men who created them. A number of communities had settled in, and the art of pottery was learned. Animals such as sheep, goats, dogs and pigs were domesticated and reared.
