Late Stone Age

The Late Stone Age, also known as the Later Stone Age, refers to the final phase of the prehistoric period when humans primarily used specialized stone tools and continued developing more advanced technologies. This era saw the emergence of personal jewelry, artistic expressions, and improved hunting tools. It followed the Earlier and Middle Stone Age and is characterized by increased cultural diversity and adaptation. The Late Stone Age also coincided with the spread of modern humans into new regions and the beginnings of more complex social structures, setting the foundation for later agricultural and technological innovations.
