11. 3) NEOLITHIC AGE
In the period subsequent to the mesolithic age , man began to use
polished stone tools

The beginning of cultivation was the major progress in this period
that dates around eight thousand years back
The change from food gathering to food production is landmark in the
history of human life

the stoneage to metal age
In addition to the stone tools, the people of
period made copper tools as well
