For metric/imperial, many many years ago, we would measure distance and height by how many steps we took, how many of our hands, feet, or pretty much whatever was available at the time. Eventually someone wanted to have a standard form of measurement that everyone could use and they made the metric system. Unfortunately, not every country adopted this system.
