the paleolithic age man used a hard stone?
2.6 million years ago
stone tools are first attested around 2.6 million years ago, when hominins in eastern africa used so-called core tools, choppers made out of round cores that had been split by simple strikes. this marks the beginning of the paleolithic, or old stone age; its end is taken to be the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago. the paleolithic is subdivided into the lower paleolithic (early stone age), ending around 350,000–300,000 years ago, the middle paleolithic (middle stone age), until 50,000–30,000 years ago, and the upper paleolithic, (late stone age), 50,000–10,000 years ago.
human evolution
humankind gradually evolved from early members of the genus "homo—"such as "homo habilis", who used simple stone tools—into anatomically modern humans as well as behaviorally modern humans by the upper paleolithic. during the end of the paleolithic age, specifically the middle or upper paleolithic age, humans began to produce the earliest works of art and began to engage in religious and spiritual behavior such as burial and ritual. the climate during the paleolithic age consisted of a set of glacial and interglacial periods in which the climate periodically fluctuated between warm and cool temperatures. archaeological and genetic data suggest that the source populations of paleolithic humans survived in sparsely wooded areas and dispersed through areas of high primary productivity while avoiding dense forest cover.
