From SciShow.

Most cultures who developed metalworking technology never let the skill go to waste. But in what’s now Michigan, Native Americans started making metal tools well before anyone else did, and then stopped. And the reason why this happened is hiding in the very metal that they were working: Copper. Thanks to Alexis Dahl for joining us on this episode.
