Paleolithic - #~~2.6# million #-> 10000# years ago
This is when there were mostly just bands of hunters during the Ice Age.

Mesolithic - #~~ 10000 -> 4000-6000# years ago
The Ice Ages ended and the hunters started developing different tools to adapt to forest hunting.

Neolithic - #~~6000#* #->2000-4000# years ago
This is when agriculture started to develop.

*There is some evidence in the middle east that Neolithic culture began to develop about 8000 years ago.
