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.
