In the late 1990s, I was asked by the Editor of the Annual Review of Sociology , Karen Cook, to write a short essay for the millennial issue of that journal in which I would re fl ect on “what I don’t know about my fi eld but wish I did” (see Massey 2000). In the resulting article I wrote that “I have come to the reluctant conclusion that sociologists have gone too far in privileging the social over the biological,” and went on to conclude that “we need to educate ourselves in the exciting work now being done on functioning, cognition, the regulation of emotion, and the biological bases of behavior.”
