The image of the [[caveman]] is commonly associated with the Stone Age. For example, a 2003 documentary series showing the evolution of humans through the Stone Age was called ''[[Walking with Cavemen]]'', but only the last programme showed humans living in caves. While the idea that human beings and [[dinosaur]]s coexisted is sometimes portrayed in popular culture in cartoons, films and computer games, such as ''[[The Flintstones]]'', ''[[One Million Years B.C.]]'' and ''[[Chuck Rock]]'', the notion of hominids and non-[[bird|avian]] dinosaurs co-existing is not supported by any scientific evidence.

Other depictions of the Stone Age include the best-selling ''[[Earth's Children]]'' series of books by [[Jean M. Auel]], which are set in the [[Paleolithic]] and are loosely based on archaeological and [[anthropology|anthropological]] findings.

The 1981 film ''[[Quest for Fire (film)|Quest for Fire]]'' by [[Jean-Jacques Annaud]] tells the story of a group of early homo sapiens searching for their lost fire. A 21st-century series, ''[[Chronicles of Ancient Darkness]]'' by [[Michelle Paver]] tells of two New Stone Age children fighting to fulfil a prophecy and save their clan.
