      Scientists probably use longer and more precise phrasing than that, especially given the *2.3 million* years or so of _homo habilis_ and _homo erectus_ tool usage which led to pretty advanced stone tools - and possibly quite nifty wood technology which _didn't_ fossilise - but no further. Not all technological progress is fast progress.

    Memetic evolution, once a species becomes smart enough, many physiological selection pressures are removed. They need to eat the shellfish on these islands because there is not enough protein inland. If they weren’t smart enough then their physiology would have to change to make them able to eat more plants rather than gain a new behaviour.

      Technically, the wood age would come first. Just like it did for us. It's just not talked about near as much because obviously stone stays around much, much longer than any wood tools our ancestors made. Which means we find many more stone tools to study and talk about than wood.
