Katrina I can't disagree with your definition of anthropology. But your definition of history fits history as it was done 60+ years ago and earlier. I started graduate school in 1971 and there was beginning a new approach. (The dinosours kept slogging along in the old way.) Every generation redefines what doing history means. Now history in general is more often concerned with the "conditions of life", how economic systems worked, how legal systems worked. A discussion of the political ties of one Roman patrician family isn't really about individuals but about how the whole political system worked. I suppose you could say that doing history is becoming more anthropological. It isn't about kings anymore.
