What is Evolution of Measurement Systems about?

The first unit of mass was the grain of wheat or barleycorn, which was used to weigh silver and gold. Larger units like the pound and shekel were also developed, with their exact values varying in different civilizations. The earliest systems divided units into 60 subunits, like 60 shekels in a mina. Over time, units standardized but retained divisions like 12 ounces in a pound.
