Abstract
Galaxies found in the distant, early universe look and behave differently
from those in our local universe. In this presentation, I describe
triumphs and tribulations towards our understanding of these changes over
time, by highlighting some fundamental insights into the current mysteries
of galaxy evolution, derived from telescopic observations and theoretical
simulations.
