What were the Stone Age methods of hunting?

Did early humans use stones to throw at animals? Or use spears of wood? Please help. I also want to know how to spearfish (fish with a wooden spear).What were the Stone Age methods of hunting?
In the case of hunting smaller game like rabbits and birds yes early humans would have used primitive slings to throw stones. In the case of deer and larger animals, yes they probably would have used spears that could be thrown with and Atlatle (spelling?). These would have been lighter throwing javelins. Later Stone Age hunters probably would have had bows as well. I would suggest looking into the hunting methods of modern day ';primitive'; tribes like those in Africa or South America. I know you would find info on how to spearfish the old fashion way. It is something I am looking into myself. Also if you google survival websites you would probably find a survival website showing you how to make these tools and use them.
