No one knows when people first started using stone implements, but it was several million years ago. People began smelting copper about 1,500 B.C. At that point, the copper age began. Still, more tools were made of stone than copper. The later iron age began about 800 B.C. At that point iron tools began replacing stone for many uses. They did not replace stone or clay for food handling purposes. That would only happen gradually. We still have clay eating utensils. South America has Indian Tribes using stone implements. Stone age people live today.
