	By far the longest part of humanity's history, the '''Stone Age''' is the period from the emergence of humans to about 7,000 years ago. Said period is when early humans wandered the landscape hunting and gathering food in small bands using and later making tools of materials such as wood, stone and bone.

It includes a wide variety of things from primitive hominids with sharp rocks and pointy sticks to anatomically modern H.

	This is a time when the world was not yet man's dominion. Humanity was just another species struggling to get by wandering the world, scraping up what they could from the land where they were not always on top of the food chain. It was also a time in which men walked alongside megafauna such as Mammoths, Ground Sloths, Woolly Rhinos, Short Nosed Bears and Saber Toothed Cats. It even includes people dealing with other species of human such as Neanderthals. If the idea of someone wandering a great empty wilderness of stark beauty and primal terror with real monsters getting by with only their wits and a few things they can cobble together from the wilderness interests you, the Stone Age is the place to set your games.

	More fantastic versions of the Stone Age include Dinosaurs. This can fall into the fantasy trip of “The Lost World,” which brings both Stone Age civilization and dinosaurs into modern times, albeit in a very hard-to-reach part of the world (such as deep beneath the Earth) where travelers are forced to adapt to the savage and primal conditions they find themselves in. Or if you want to drop a giant black tablet from space and have it teach apes the basic principles of minecraft, that works too.		More fantastic versions of the Stone Age include Dinosaurs.

	* ''Neolithic'': About 12,000 to 7,000 years ago people began to farm, slowly at first by weeding out patches of food plants as they went through and seeding areas with food plants and catching pliable animals, penning them and feeding them before slaughter, killing the uppity ones first. People figure out they can make plants and animals have desired characteristics by breeding them. They begin building permanent structures and eventually settle down and build small villages, then towns and eventually small cities such as ''Çatalhöyük''. Some specialize, honing their crafts, relying on others for food and teaching their kids what they know. This was a fairly rocky process and there were some false starts and set backs, even so there was net progress. Eventually someone works out how to smelt Copper, thus bringing the Stone Age to a close.		* ''Neolithic'': About 12,000 to 7,000 years ago people began to farm, slowly at first by weeding out patches of food plants as they went through and seeding areas with food plants and catching pliable animals, penning them and feeding them before slaughter, killing the uppity ones first.
