Metals and how a silver ring is made The history of humanity has been marked since the earliest times by the search for ways to extract and work metals with which to produce tools, objects, and weapons. In the early stages of human history, the most commonly used material was stone, but stone objects were challenging to work with and not very durable. Thanks to the properties of these materials, the transition to metals enabled humans to make more precise and durable tools that were more efficient. Historians have even used the name of alloys and metals to distinguish certain great epochs of humanity, such as the Copper and Bronze Ages.
