Scarce Bronze

Possible to live with little or no metal?

Is it possible if Earth was made up of metal so scarce like gold, would Earth still be like how it is today? Like copper, tin, bronze, etc and all common cheap metals easily dug up, if it became down to simply so scarce, it is easily in element forms in soils for plants and our body but not large enough to hold it in our hand?

Your meaning is not at all clear – I interpret your question as asking, “what if all minerals were too scarce to be mined, just present in amounts necessary for life to exist”. The answer is that modern civilization would not be around, in all likelihood, unless we were somehow able to make a transition from using organic material such as wood to, say, plastic and ceramic materials. Even then, certain features common today would be absent. Most transportation would not be practical – I cannot think of a durable engine that does not use metal. High rise buildings would probably be absent without steel beams. Unfortunately we would still have warfare – bows and arrows can be made without metals, so can spears! Bacterial and chemical warfare would be more difficult in a metal-free world but still possible. Here is something that you might not realize – without metals, we would not have electrical currents, thus no electrical appliances!
