they did work to survive basically. I don't know all the facts but that all the evidence we have now
The people of the old stone age hunted and farmed.
They migrated, struggled for life and hunted to find food
Stone was widely used during the stone age hence its name. Bone tools were used during the stone age. It is the first in system of three ages; the stone age, the bronze age and the iron age.
Stone age
STONE"s
The Stone Age is generally considered to be the period between about 450,000 years ago and about 2,300 years ago, when humans first began to work with metals (the Bronze Age). The earliest evidence we have of hominids regularly using fire is from about 1.6 million years ago, although presumably, the migration of hominids from the warmth of the African continent into areas of Asia and Europe necessitated the use of fire for heating. Based on current evidence, anatomically modern humans appear to have been around for only the last 150-200,000 years. Since the ancestors of modern humans regularly used fire for various purposes, there are a couple of answers to your question: 1) Before the stone age 2) It depends on what you mean by "humans"

The Paleolithic ("old stone") period covers the majority of human existence on Earth, from the time of the hominids through early societies using stone tools and developing agriculture. It was followed by the Mesolithic Age ("middle stone").
farming things made of STONE :)
Tools became more complex during the Middle Stone Age.
the developments that occured during the stone age is: tools hunting and gathering and last but not least farming
