EARLY MEASURES 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 exchanged 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 all the builders use the same basic measurement? 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 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. 71. This article could be best titled a. Building a Hut b. Development of a Standardized Measurement c. Man’s early Problems d.
