These human remains were said to be more than 500,000 years old and were unlike any other remains from that period; as such, they fepresented an important discovery in the study of human evolution, These remains, Popularly known as the Piltdown Man and scientifically named Eoanthropus dawsoni after their discoverer, confounded scientists for several decades. It took more than forty years for the hoax to be uncovered. In 1953, a chemical analysis was used to date the bones, and it was found that the bones were modern bones that had been skillfully aged.

Imagine trying to sell grain in Egypt by the basket without having any comparison to make as to the basket’s weight or volume, Such were the problems in early times when weight had to be guessed or measured against a standard of the weight of stones, seashells, seeds, or grain. Problems ‘also existed in terms of Measurement of lengths. One of the earliest linear measurements was the foot which first took its standard from the length of a human foot and later used the length of a King’s foot as the standard. Archaeologists have traced People's attempts to grapple with standard units of measurement from the ancient Egyptians’ attempts to reset precise property lines after flooding of the Nile River to biblical times when a cubit was the standard unit of length. The cubit took its standard from the
