What is Neolithic, also called New Stone Age, final stage of cultural evolution or technological development among prehistoric humans. It was characterized by stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding, dependence on domesticated plants or animals, settlement in permanent villages, and the appearance of such crafts as pottery and weaving. The Neolithic followed the Paleolithic Period, or age of chipped-stone tools, and preceded the Bronze Age, or early period of metal tools.

Here are some of the final major events of this age

1. Agriculture begins in some areas of Central America. Pottery is made in Mexico which is used to store food.

2. Starting in the Middle East, the Neolithic period starts to move into the Copper Age as copper tools replace stone tools. Eventually all groups will move towards tools made with either copper, bronze, and/or iron as people realize how useful the new tools are. The Neolithic Era will be remembered as the major transition from the hunting, gathering, and wandering groups to the agricultural communities and the domestication of animals.

3. More areas start practicing farming, including parts of Europe and then eventually England and Scandinavia. Houses are made with wooden sticks woven together and then covered with clay and mud. As more people live in villages, some forms of government develop.

Hope this helps!
