The human beigs appeared on planet earth in middle of Pleistocene Epoch [ Epoch= Time period ] . The evolutionary phase of human being which is recent is known as Holocene. The early humans used variety of stones tools to hunt the animals and also to defend themsleves from wild animals . They didn’t had knowledge of Agricultural practices . their life was dependant on plants grown in forest and on Animals. The early human history can be understood manily wth the help of stone tools used by them . Stone age is devided in three parts :-
PALEOLITHIC AGE ;- 
5 LAKH BCE – 10K BCE
This age is furtther devided into 3 Stages ;-
UPPER PALEOLITHIC AGE – 5LAKH BCE- 1 LAKH BCE
In this Phase the tools were Irregular in shape , big in size and rough in Nature . The characterstic tools used in this time were cleaver , chopper, hand axe . Single color painting were discovered from sites of upper paleolithic site.
MIDDLE PALEOLITHOC AGE -1 LAKH BCE- 40K BCE
The tools wetre closer to Rectagular shape and smaller than the previous period tools. The charaterstic tools of this time were Scrapers, Borers , Burins + People were dependant on hunting and food gathering.
LOWER PALEOLITHIC AGE – 40K BCE- 10K BCE
In this period flakes stone tools were created which were roughly closer to triangular shape . The characterstics tools were blades and points .
Most of the evidence of these sites found from Narmada Valley
MESOLITHIC PHASE :- 10K BCE – 6000 BCE
It was a Transition phase from a very cold climate to warm climate Which was highly condusive for the development and evolution of human being . One of the major beginning at the time was domestication of Animal. whose evidences has been found from Adamgarh ( MP) , Bagohar ( Rajasthan ) . The major Achievement of this period was the characterstics tools known as Microlith. It was a tiny and very sharp tools which not only faciliated in the effective killing of animals but also in creating the Characterstic Painitng of the period popularly knoiwn as PETROGLYPH PAINTING ( Rock Cut Cave Paintings ). The Misolithic paintings is not only the mark of fine aesthotic sense but also it is the most Important source to know about socio- culture practices of the Mesolithic Age

The hunting were colored with vegetable colors , Mineral Colors , Red was the dominating color . The major source of red color was Animal Blood .
NEOLITHIC AGE :- 6000BCE – 3000BCE
One of the most Important development of this time was creation of polishes stone tools. Moreover Many other varieties of tools were used like Bow and Arrow. The Major achievement of this period was start of Agriculture Practices. Moreover human beings started to live permenant on one place as a permenant type of community. The Neolithic people mastred the control use of fire . Another important beginning was wheel made pottery.
The first evidence of Agricultural practices in Mehargarh in Balochisthan ( Pakisthan ) .
