Prehistoric Ages. Sir J. Lubbock distinguishes four prehistoric ages, as follows: 

 1. The Paleolithic or Early Stone Age. 2. The Neolithic or Polished Stone Age. 3. The 

 Bronze Age. 4. The Iron Age. In the Stone Age man knew nothing of pottery or agri- 

 culture and had no domestic animals except the dog. In the Bronze Age arms and cutting 

 instruments were made of bronze. In the Iron Age bronze was superseded by iron.
