🇬🇧🇪🇸 Stone Age - Edad de Piedra : English Lesson

Meaning of "Stone Age" ("Edad de Piedra"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

The Stone Age was a very, very long time ago, before metal, plastic, or electricity existed. During this time, early humans used stones to make tools and weapons, like sharp rocks for cutting and heavy stones for hunting. They also used bones and wood, but no metal at all. People in the Stone Age lived in small groups, hunted animals, gathered plants, and often lived in caves or simple shelters. It was the first big period of human history, when people were just starting to learn how to survive and build a life on Earth.
