Did the stone age end because we ran out of stones?

[Egbert]

I know the stone age ended but I am puzzled as to why it ended.

I see stones laying about everywhere. Are Donald and Xi Jinping new Messiahs to led us into a new stone age?

Can somebody enlighten me please?

[SlowwHand]

Current drug laws ended what was originally called
The Stoned Age.

I don't know, but the space age started because we ran out of space.

The stone age began when a giant stone fell down and killed them dinos. Up to this point not a single stone had existed on Earth, all subsequent stones are small pieces of the holy ONE-stone which came down onto those dinos.

In the following gazillion yrs them stones became mobile, and evolved into Rolling Stones. At the height of the stone age writing was discovered and the Rolling Stone Mag and the iconic iStone appeared first.

The stone age ended when a small group of surviving resistance dinos made a suicide attack at the capital of stones called Stonehenge. This is why we don't have any dinos around anymore.

That explains why Stonehenge is in ruins. I thought I saw dinosaur bites on a few of the stones there, but the guide told me to stop being silly and took away my Boddingtons.

Stone cavemen tried to warn the others about Peak Stone, but they were sidelined by vested quarry interests.

[Egbert]

I suppose an abundance of old stones allowed us to have the old stone ages and then newer stones allowed the new stone ages.
Then we had copper.
and then we had iron and entered the iron.
And the the steam age.
And now the space age.

We now have plenty of **** so I presume we are entering the "**** age"?

[giblets]

We are still living in the stone age.

[ricketyclik]

Only emotionally.

[Berzerker]

quarries all over the world show we never left

[Uncle Sparky]

Yabba dabba doo!

[Bereta_Eder]

I wonder if we told the stone age people that they live in the stone age if they found it offensive

[Bereta_Eder]

Maybe they'd say " we don't live in the stone age, you live in the mushy age"

I think Trump should bring back 'stoning'. I think his followers would like that.

there is always google you know. Lasting roughly 2.5 million years, the Stone Age ended around 5,000 years ago when humans in the Near East began working with metal and making tools and weapons from bronze. During the Stone Age, humans shared the planet with a number of now-extinct hominin relatives, including Neanderthals and Denisovans.

so... i guess it ended because humans started using metals.

[Egbert]

Maybe people started using metals due to a shortage of stones.

I see no stone tools in the shops which is proof of a shortage of suitable tones.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

I dont see any horses pulling carts in the streets anymore. We have trucks. But that does not mean there is a shortage of horses.

metal weapons just worked better. so do trucks.

[Uncle Sparky]

Blasphemer!
