Similarities between the paleolithic age and neolithic age?

The clue is in the name! The element "lithic" pertains to stone. Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic people all used tools made from stone, principally flint which can be knapped to produce sharp, hard cutting edges.


Does the Neolithic era and the Stone Age cover the same time period?

The Stone Age is divided into two periods, the Old Stone Age, or Palaeolithic Period (Greek palaios "old" and lithos"stone"), and the New Stone Age, or Neolithic (neos"new").These periods are defined based on cultural criteria, so they will cover different time periods in different areas depending on the timing of cultural developments. The dividing line between Palaeolithic and Neolithic is the invention of agriculture, and the endpoint of the Neolithic is defined as the development of iron tools. In the ancient Near East these dates are around 9500 B.C. and 1300 B.C. respectively. In the Western Hemisphere the Neolithic persisted until European contact, and there are still small pockets of the Neolithic today in places like the island of New Guinea.
