Phrase “Stone Age” Not
Literal in Application
I’hc Stone age Is a term com
moldy used to denote the earliest
recognized stage In tile develop
meiit of liunuin culture as defined
by the materials used b.v man fo>
weapons, utensils, etc. The phrase
Is somewhat misleading, since II
is probable that primitive man
made use ot wood and other per
Isbable materials to a fur greater
extent than of stone, and conse
quently the stage Is defined by the
prevailing umlerlnl of the relics
not b.v that of actual Implements
In common use. The term “Stone
age" represents In no sense a
chronological division ot human
progress, hut Is a loose equivalent
for a stage of cultural development
varying widely In duration In dlt
ferent parts ot the world. Then
are. e. g., tribes still In the Stone
age, while, on the other band, some
groups had outgrown It before the
dawn of history. It is also worth
noting that some tribes commonly
classed as belonging to the Stone
age produced objects of a superior
artistic and Industrial merit to
those who had advanced to the
use of metals. The evidence for
the existence of such an age In
most parts of the world Is conelu
she, but It Is from the preva
lence and ehnmeter of the relics In
certain parts of Europe rather than
in America that the Idea and term
have come Into general use.
