Sorokin (1947) claims that biology doesn't change in an individual when status can.
If you do not reference the author's name, they must be included in your citation.
Even when status changes biology doesn't. (Sorokin 1947)
When using direct quotes you must cite the pagination as well.
As Sorokin (1947:293) states, "Even the highest leaders of some of the unibonded groups find themselves excluded from various consolidated aristocricies."
