Well, honey, the element tin has been around longer than you and me combined. But if you want a name to associate with it, credit goes to the ancient civilizations like the Romans and the Chinese who first mined and used tin thousands of years ago. So, there you have it, tin has been strutting its stuff since way before we even had a clue what to do with it.
