Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transitional prehistoric period between the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) and the Neolithic (New Stone Age) is called the Mesolithic period. During this time, human societies shifted from purely hunting and gathering to more complex subsistence practices incorporating both hunting and gathering as well as the beginnings of agriculture and animal domestication. The development of small-scale farming and pottery also occurred during this period. Megalithic monuments, such as Stonehenge, were constructed during the later Neolithic period.
