Ken S,
In films and so on stoneage people are showed more like apes then humans - but stoneage people was exactly as we are today, same body, same brain, same intelligents. They was and function as we are today - but they did not have out tecnical knowledge, their knowledge was about nature, wild animals, things to eat and not to eat, medicine and religion - and much more.
They use the material there was innthe area where they lived - and imported material they needed from sometime long distance. In south Sweden we have a soecial black color flint and deep flint mines - and that flint was exported all over Scandinavia, also far north. The graan in that black flint was very fine and it was easy to split to sharp edges.
They was experts in flint napping and could make fantastic edged tools, they make for example arrowheads if extream high quality.
The indians in US was at stoneage levell when the white men arrived (correct me if I am wrong) and they went deiektly from stoneage to ironage. Here we have the bronze age before the ironage. Even today we still have real stoneage people in Amazonas that use only stone tools. Ages gets their names from what matwrial they used in their daily life - not by how their brain worked
