The Lower Paleolithic Period is the earliest of the Stone Age and is identified by the first usage of stone tools. It extends from 500000 BC to 50000 BC. The Lower Paleolithic Period was probably the time when humans first discovered and used fire.

It is believed that the first dogs were wolves that were domesticated by humans at some point during the stone age.

The term Neolithic Period refers to the last stage of the Stone Age extending from 4000 BC to 2500 BC. It was characterized by stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding, dependence on domesticated plants or animals, settlement in permanent villages, and the appearance of such crafts as pottery and weaving.

Mesolithic Age was a ancient cultural stage that existed between the Paleolithic Period with its chipped stone tools, and the Neolithic Period with its polished stone tools. It extends from 20,000 BC to 8000 BC.  The word Mesolithic derives from the Greek: Mesos (middle) and Litho (stone).

The first attempts at domestication of animals and plants  were made during the Mesolithic Period. The first animal to be domesticated was the dog which started in Central Asia . The earliest evidence of domestication of animals comes from Adamgarh (M.P.) and Bagor in Rajasthan dated 5500 B.C. and 4500 B.C. respectively.

The Paleolithic age can be divided into three stages: Early (lower) Paleolithic age, Middle Paleolithic age and Late ( upper) Paleolithic age. The Late Paleolithic age extends from 40000 BC to 10000 BC. It was characterized by the emergence of regional stone tool industries.
