The term "Stone-Age man" is outdated and inaccurate in describing our ancestors who lived during the Paleolithic period. Instead, historians and anthropologists use more accurate terms like "Paleolithic people," "hunter-gatherers," or "early humans." These terms highlight the cultural and social diversity of the period and better contextualize the advancements and innovations made by our ancestors. Using more specific terms like "Neanderthals," "Cro-Magnons," and "Australopithecines" can also help in identifying the different species of early humans. These more accurate synonyms help us to better understand and appreciate the rich history and complex evolution of human society and culture.
