Copper was the first metal known to and used by humans, dating back to around 8000 BCE. Its malleability and availability in native form made it ideal for early tools and ornaments. Gold and Silver were also used early but require more complex processing. Iron came much later (around 1500 BCE) with the development of smelting technology.
