I got it down a bit wrong there - but, according to my books mesolithic it
is the time between the latest ice age and the beginning of
agriculture(10.000 - 4.000 years BC in Southern Scandinavia), but there is
still no agriculture so I wouldn't agree to this:

We are still hunting and gathering in Sweden, that does not make us neither
paleolithic nor mesolithic.
