how did early humans create the first metal tools without metal tools to make them?

If early humans crafted a hammer or an axe from metal for example. How on earth did they craft the first tool that was used to create that hammer or axe. I know you can create a hammer from natural material like stone and an axe from a sharp piece of stone but how did they forge the first metal tools and even weapons?

This video from the Primitive Technology series on YouTube shows how one can make basic iron tools from bacteria that contain iron particles. Sounds crazy I know, but it’s completely legitimate.

If you like anime, Dr. Stone is great at explaining the science of human advancement. Covers alot of metal work in season 1 and 2.
