Difference between Prehistory and Stone Age

Human prehistory is the period between the use of the first stone tools 3.3 million years ago by hominins and the invention of writing systems. The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make implements with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface.
