History

Copper is the oldest metal worked by the hands of human beings. This is a result of the directly usable form that copper can be found in because it is a native metal. Some of the first recorded uses of copper by humans stretch as far back as 10,000 years ago. Copper played a key role in the advancement of human civilizations from its use as the first metal to be smelted 7,000 years ago, to its use as the first metal to be alloyed on purpose with another metal 5,500 years ago. The latter launched the famous era of human history known as the Bronze Age.
