History[]

The discovery and use of first copper and then the much more useful bronze tools and weapons was a dramatic leap in technology.  Bronze, especially, possessed a hardness, strength, and ability to hold an edge that far surpassed the best stone tools, making it much more useful when working with stone, wood, hides, meat, and other materials.  Cultures that used bronze had a decided economic and military advantage over those that did not.
