Neo - new (english), Meso - middle

Lithos- stone (greek)

Neolithic age--> New Stone age, relating to or denoting the later part of the Stone
Age,
when ground or polished stone weapons and implements prevailed.

Mesolithic age -->relating to or denoting the middle part of the Stone Age, between
the Palaeolithic and Neolithic.

Paleolithic age-->relating to or denoting the early phase of the Stone Age, lasting
about 2.5 million years, when primitive stone implements were used.

The first evidence of Neolithic culture popped up about 10,500 years before the
present in the Levant, an area currently known as Jericho and/or Palestine.
The evidence is archaeological signs that the first agricultural revolution
occurred during this period, a critical transition from nomadic hunting and
gathering lifestyles that characterized much of prehistoric humanity to agriculture
and settlement and ultimately civilization. This transition also
heralded in a massive restructuring in social organization and a new dawn in
technology. Roles became more specialized.
This way of life had several characteristic waves, and with each it propagated out
of the Near East to other areas of the world. The current
classification is as follows:
Neolithic 1 Pre-Pottery Neolithic A--> Major characteristic of PPNA is true
farming.
Neolithic 2 Pre-Pottery Neolithic B
Neolithic 3 Pottery Neolithic--> Distinctive cultures, Pottery technology
The best way I can personally think of documenting how significant the changes that
occurred during the Neolithic, is by showing you a comparison
of stone tools. The two images you see here are examples of Paleolithic and So do
you see the significant differences between the two technologies?
I hope you do. Now imagine how these differences represent an analogy to how entire
ways of living changed upon the Neolithic and then you should
get a feel for how important this period was.

[Objective v/s Subjective]

Anything objective sticks to the facts, but anything subjective has feelings.
Objective and subjective are opposites. Objective: It is raining. Subjective: I
love the rain!
Objective is a busy word and that's a fact. An objective is a goal, but to be
objective is to be unbiased. If you're objective about something, you have no
personal feelings about it. In grammar land, objective relates to the object of a
sentence. Anyway, people often try to be objective, but it's easier for robots.
Here are examples:
"DNA testing and fingerprint analysis and all that technology stuff is objective,
they declare confidently. The machine cannot be fooled." (Salon)
"Consider checking in with a third party, to get an objective opinion." (Wall
Street Journal)
Subjective , on the other hand, has feelings. Anything subjective is subject to
interpretation. In grammar land, this word relates to the subject of the sentence.
Usually, subjective means influenced by emotions or opinions. Humans are a
subjective bunch and we like it that way! Here's subjective in the wild:
"Because many of the decisions we made are subjective, there is the possibility of
human error in our data set." (Slate)
"Now, I realize that is totally subjective because there is no standard unit of
measurement for fun." (New York Times)
It's true that opposites attract. Here are some examples of both words cozying up
in the same sentence:
"But now we, as a pathologists, need more objective measures because symptoms, to a
certain degree, are subjective." ( Time)
"We take our unruly, subjective feelings about a year of television and groom them
into something that looks mathematical and objective." (Slate)
Be objective when writing things like summaries or news articles, but feel free to
be subjective for arguments and opinions.

[Trade-off]

A trade-off (or tradeoff) is a situation that involves losing one quality or aspect
of something in return for gaining another quality or aspect.
More colloquially, if one thing increases, some other thing must decrease.
Tradeoffs can occur for many reasons, including simple physics
(into a given amount of space, you can fit many small objects or fewer large
objects). The idea of a tradeoff often implies a decision to be made
with full comprehension of both the upside and downside of a particular choice,
such as when a person decides whether to invest in stocks (more risky
but with a greater potential return) versus bonds (generally safer, but lower
potential returns).

The concept of a trade-off is often used to describe situations in everyday life.

The old saying "do not put all of your eggs into one basket" implies
a trade-off with respect to spreading risk, as when one buys a mutual fund composed
of many stocks rather than only one or a few stocks that may have a
higher expected value of return.
Similarly, trash cans can be small or large. A large trash can does not need to be
put out for pickup so often, but it may become so heavy when full
that one risks injury when trying to move it.
In cold climates, mittens serve well to keep the hands warm, but they do not allow
the hands to function as well as do gloves.
In a like fashion, warm coats are often bulky and hence difficult to store or even
to hang up.
When copying music from compact disks to a computer, lossy compression formats,
such as MP3, are used routinely to save harddisk space, but information
is thrown away to the detriment of sound quality. Lossless compression schemes,
such as FLAC or ALAC save less space but do not affect the sound quality.
Large cars can carry many people, but they also tend to be heavy (and often not
very aerodynamic) and hence have relatively poor fuel economy.
In the Olympics, the best sprinters are not the same individuals as the best
marathoners, a trade-off based on various morphological, physiological
(e.g., variation in muscle fiber type), and possibly motivational factors.
