When life was rugged and simple , man’s needs were few and he could supply them all As he advanced from lone hunter to farmer and builder and exchange a solitary existence for the greater comfort and security of community life , he realized he must come to an agreement with his neighbors on a common system of measurement How can men build a house , or a storage hut , or a temple , unless all the builders use the same basic measurements ?
The very earliest measurements were for length The bases for the measures were those most natural – a foot , a palm , a span of the hand When building alone , man could use his own body But on community projects a common standard was required The leader’s measurements were taken and marked off on a stick or stone Crude copies were made from the original and passed out for use Later the foot gradually evolved to become twelve inches long
