Ages are labeled according to what the humans living at that time were able to accomplish. In the Stone age, people learned to make tools from stone. In the Bronze age, people had learned to melt metals together in an alloy that is called 'bronze'.

In the Iron age, people learned how to generate enough heat to melt iron and fashion tools with it.
