In most US tribes, you have a specific blood quantum needed for enrolment – often one-quarter. That means you have to be able to show with paper documentation that you have one out of four grandparents who is full blood. Or you might have two grandparents who are half blood – however you can make those fractions work. Has DNA testing changed things more recently? I think the root cause of recent changes isn’t DNA testing, but gaming. Because Native American reservations don’t necessarily have to adhere to all of the laws of the states in which they’re located – namely gambling laws – during the 1970s and 80s some tribes started building bingo halls and casinos on their land.

Observations tell us that stellar-mass and supermassive black holes can also spin. Theoretically, they too could kick off a lasing effect – not with photons, but with other, so far undiscovered particles similar to photons that might not have anything to do with dark matter. Any evidence of such bombs – or lack of it – could put stringent limits on the existence of such particles. “We haven’t done the test yet, but it is eminently possible,” says Loeb. But it is undoubtedly those smallest primordial black holes, potentially forged in the earliest moments of the big bang, that would be the most exciting catch.

That makes it a cut above most other animals. In addition, its less-articulate forebear, the munia, is still alive, which allows Okanoya to compare the two in a bid to work out how the vocalisation became so elaborate. His first step was to quantify the difference in complexity between the songs of munias and Bengalese finches. To do this, Okanoya and his collaborators divided the total number of different notes produced by each during a 2-minute performance, by the number of different note-to-note transitions over the same period.
