Humans might have started to count on a base 12 because there are approximately 12 cycles of the moon in one cycle of the sun. In other words, a solar year has 12 months. The first to have used the unit were probably the Mesopotamians. 12 dozen (144 items) are a gross. 12 gross (1728 items) are called a great gross.
