So, if I understand correctly, historians are looking for connections in history. Anthropologists on the other hand isolate culture/events in order to study it. This means that a historian does more macro-culture while a anthropologist is looking at micro-culture. Seems to me that those are 2 different things. In the case of the isolated tribe, an anthropologist will be looking at the small things like relations between people while the historian will be looking at the larger picture. Please tell me if I am mistaken. I now want to understand what historians and anthropologists actually do. And really? Malaria to thank for the gasoline engine? How did that work?
