Man vs. Wild/Paleolithic vs. Neolithic
Just think of Neolithic as a totally new and improved age... kind of like cars!
Paleolithic or Neolithic
[edit | edit source]Paleolithic: Earliest known use of stone tools (Homo habilis)... Known as simply "Era". Pretty simple compared to the Neolithic era.
Neolithic: Or "New Stone Age", progression for humans.
