There is evidence suggesting that the 2.5 million year limit for stone tool
manufacture might be pushed further back.
The reason is that the capacity of tool use and even its manufacture
is not exclusive of our species

In addition, some researchers have claimed that the earliest stone tools
might even have an earlier origin: 3.4 million years ago.

The Stone Age begins with the first production of stone implements
and ends with the first use of bronze. Since the chronological limits of the Stone
Age are based on technological development rather than actual date
ranges, its length varies in different areas of the world.
The earliest global date for the beginning of the Stone Age is 2.5 million years
ago in Africa, and the earliest end date is about 3300 BCE,
which is the beginning of Bronze Age in the Near East.
