Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
The Stone Age is a period of prehistory which is known under that name for being the period in which human beings began using primitive tools made of stone.
It lasted approximately 2.5 million years, and ended approximately 5000 years ago, when humans in the Near East began to work with metal, manufacturing both tools and weapons with bronze alloy, thus beginning the Age of Bronze.
During the Stone Age, humans had to share the planet with a large number of hominid close relatives, as was the case with the Neanderthals. All these species became extinct and currently there is only archaeological evidence of them.
Our Stone Age ancestors used to use stone tools to be able to cut and crush, making the task of extracting meat and other nutrients from animals and plants more efficient, thus overcoming the strategies of their ancestors.
