Abstract: Professor Mirko Drazen Grmek (Krapina 1924 - Paris 2000) was one of the most prominent Croatian scientists. Work in history of science directed him to the crossroads of various fields placing his approach in anthropological perspective. Two models will serve as illustrations of his main theories. The historical reconstruction of scientific discovery (mostly on examples of 17(th) century) will be presented as well as Grmek's ideas on a concept of disease. The introduction of the term ''memoricicle'' within his activities during aggression on Croatia is mentioned.
