Historians describe prehistory as the Stone age which is divided in to two parts, Paleolithic and Neolithic. The Paleolithic age came first, when man harvested wild plants and animals for food. The Neolithic age followed the Paleolithic age. Farming became dominant during the Neolithic age. The dates of these ages are debated. Many biased historians give them older dates than can be proven.
