Early Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa
from as early as 270,000 years ago,
although these early migrations may have
died out and permanent Homo sapiens
presence outside of Africa may not have
been established until about 70-50,000
years ago

21. OLD STONE AGE
The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic also called the Old
Stone Age is a period in prehistory, distinguished by
the original development of stone tools, that covers
99% of the period of human technological
prehistory. 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 .
22. • MIDDLE STONE AGE
• The Middle Stone Age (or MSA) was a period of African prehistory between the Early Stone Age and
the Late Stone Age. It is generally considered to have begun around 280,000 years ago and ended around 50–
25,000 years ago.[1] The beginnings of particular MSA stone tools have their origins as far back as 550–
500,000 years ago and as such some researchers consider this to be the beginnings of the MSA.

24. NEW STONE AGE
The Neolithic period, or New Stone
Age, is an Old World archaeological
period and the final division of
the Stone Age. It saw the Neolithic
Revolution, a wide-ranging set of
developments that appear to have
arisen independently in several parts of
the world. This "Neolithic package"
included the introduction of
farming, domestication of animals, and
change from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle
to one of settlement.
