Discover the remarkable history of the Stone Age...

The cave dwellers of the Stone Age were brutish and primitive compared to the human civilizations that would follow. Their technological developments were limited, and their society and culture provided few lasting legacies. Until surprisingly recently, this was the general view of the period of prehistory known as the Stone Age, an age that lasted for over 2 million years and ended only around 5,000 years ago. Now, this ancient period of human history has been extensively reappraised.

We have come to learn that the people of the Stone Age produced art, practiced some form of religion, carried out successful medical procedures, and used building technology that we still cannot fully explain. They also pioneered international exploration and trade and seem to have carried out the first investigations to try to understand our planet and its place in the cosmos.

Because they left no written records, all our knowledge of this long period comes from the analysis of fragmentary archaeological artifacts, but what they demonstrate is surprising and revelatory. The people of the Stone Age may have lacked the ability to work metal, and they do not seem to have had any equivalent to writing or money, but they were far more advanced and much closer to contemporary society than you might have guessed. This is the astounding and still unfolding story of the Stone Age.
