The shift from the Paleolithic to Neolithic periods represents a watershed moment in human history. While many may consider the humans of both stone ages to be unintelligent barbarians, this brief history proves that the humans of yesteryear were just as smart as we are today. Between 10,000 BC and 2,000 BC, they instituted revolutionary changes in human life. All over the globe, formerly nomadic people began settling into villages, farming, and creating high-tech stone inventions. Thanks to new research tools, exciting discoveries are popping up all over the world, revealing more about the mysterious early humans behind such wonders as Stonehenge.

The overall content is interesting, but I can't get over how they simply skip the Mesolithic as a period of time and skip from the Paleolithic to Neolithic, lumping the Neo and Meso together! Given that the Mesolithic was characterised by semi-permanent living, it was a vital step in the transition from hunter-gatherer to sedentary farming.

Interesting but...
