Detailed explanation-1: -The Paleolithic is the earliest period of the Stone Age. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene c. 11, 650 BP (before the present period).
Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest and longest period of the Stone Age is called the Paleolithic Age. This comes from the Greek word Palaios, meaning “long ago” or “old, ‘’ and lithos, meaning “stone”-put together, Paleolithic Age means Old Stone Age. This may have been what early human ancestors looked like over three million years ago.
Detailed explanation-3: -The oldest is the Paleolithic ("old stone age"), which spans from the first use of stone tools (around 2.6 million years ago) to about 10, 000 years ago. The Paleolithic Age gave way to the Mesolithic Age, which led to the Neolithic Age, which led to the Bronze Age, when metalworking was invented.
