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 neighbours on a common system of measurement. How can men build a house, or a storage hut, or a temple, unless 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.
