Answer:
Copper metal was in maximum use of the primitive man.
Explanation:
When early humans started to live in groups in cages they felt the need to make some tools for various purposes. First, they made the stone tools and became more advanced when the materials used by them to make their tools gradually improved. From stone, they move to make tools with bronze, which is an alloy of copper and then iron and recently to steel.
The ages in history have also been defined based on the material used for tools: Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Steel Age. The bronze age lasted for about 9000 – 3500 BC, for such long time copper, was used.
Most of the time pure copper was not used rather mixed with tin they made its alloy called bronze which was much stronger than copper. Only after the discovery of iron, the use of bronze became less but was still prevalent because it was rust-free, unlike iron. So, copper or the alloy of copper (bronze) has been used by the primitive man for the longest time.
