In the Paleolithic period (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C.), early humans lived in caves or simple huts or tepees and were hunters and gatherers. They used basic stone and bone tools, as well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals. They cooked their prey, including woolly mammoths, deer and bison, using controlled fire. They also fished and collected berries, fruit and nuts.
During the Mesolithic period (about 10,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C.), humans used small stone tools, now also polished and sometimes crafted with points and attached to antlers, bone or wood to serve as spears and arrows. They often lived nomadically in camps near rivers and other bodies of water. Agriculture was introduced during this time, which led to more permanent settlements in villages.
Finally, during the Neolithic period (roughly 8,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C.), ancient humans switched from hunter/gatherer mode to agriculture and food production. They domesticated animals and cultivated cereal grains. They used polished hand axes, adzes for ploughing and tilling the land and started to settle in the plains. Advancements were made not only in tools but also in farming, home construction and art, including pottery, sewing and weaving.

Answer:The 3 stages oof stone age are-
The Paleolithic Age
The Mesolithic Age
The Neolitic Age
Explanation:
The Paleolithic Age
The earliest period of the Stone Age - and human history as a whole - is the Paleolithic Age, which literally means ''old stone'' age. This period is usually dated from around 30,000 BCE to the end of the Ice Age, around 10,000 BCE, which makes it the longest of the periods.
The Mesolithic Age
The Mesolithic Age is the ''middle stone'' age and acts as a middle period. While there was some development and change during this period, it wasn't drastic and acted more as a bridge between the Paleolithic Age and the later Neolithic Age. In fact, not all civilizations had a Mesolithic Age, as they sometimes jumped straight from the simplistic and nomadic lifestyle of the Paleolithic Age into the more settled and developed Neolithic Age.
The Neolithic Age
The Neolithic period is the final division of the Stone Age, with a wide-ranging set of developments that appear to have arisen independently in several parts of the world. It is first seen about 12,000 years ago when the first developments of farming appeared in the Epipalaeolithic Near East, and later in other parts of the world. The Neolithic lasted (in that part of the world) until the transitional period of the Chalcolithic from about 6,500 years ago (4500 BCE), marked by the development of metallurgy, leading up to the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
