The art of prehistoric man is found at many places in the world and also in India. Its precise dating is a matter of difficulty but it is marked by certain primitive features giving it a separate entity to be recognised as the first link in the story of human art. The prehistoric culture belonged to men living in Stone Age. In India, as elsewhere, it has two broad divisions, viz. Old Stone Age and New Stone Age, with a probable Middle Stone Age between the two. The first is known as Palaeolithic, the second as Neolithic and the intermediate one as Mesolithic.
