From stone tools to metalworking
The Stone Age is known for chipped and polished tools, while the Bronze and Iron Ages reflect breakthroughs in metallurgy and trade. These changes influenced warfare, farming efficiency, social hierarchies, and long-distance cultural exchange.
Quick facts to remember
Archaeologists often date sites using methods like stratigraphy and radiocarbon dating, and even tiny clues—pollen, bones, or tool marks—can reveal how people lived. Human evolution is traced through fossils and genetics, showing branching lineages rather than a single straight path.
- Prehistory is studied through artifacts, fossils, and environmental evidence
- Stone tools can indicate skill, diet, and mobility patterns
- Farming and domestication reshaped settlement and population growth
- Bronze (copper + tin) enabled harder tools and wider trade networks
- Iron became widespread because its ores are more common than tin
- Evolutionary change is gradual and includes multiple hominin species
