A gathering activity as such has always characterized the mankind. When and how did it convert into collecting? That question, comprised in the title of the article: “From gathering activity to collecting”, has been justified through chosen examples, presented subsequently in order to make a review beginning from the prehistoric period to the scientific revolution in the Enlightenment epoch, and taking into consideration also contemporary times. The text in question is not only a contribution to the historical approach towards collecting of natural history specimens but also it emphasizes the principles of gathering, garnering and collecting activity analyzed both in the light of the common meaning as well as taking into account their scientific sense and taking under consideration the anthropology of things. Analysis, in light of philosophic anthropology associates in itself purely anthropological categories with historical-cultural analysis and natural science. In this context the aspect of changes in the natural environment, determining the development of the societies, and manifesting itself in the heritage of acquainted and still being discovered cultures, has been touched. The criterion of examples selection according to the affinity – mainly – to the natural sciences has been adopted by the author not only due to their supremacy but also because the collecting of natural specimens is omnipresent by means of the availability of the natural specimens originating from environment around us.
