Abstract: A summarization of the latest observations of Lyman break galaxies, damped Lyman alpha systems and the Lyman alpha forest with a view to uncovering any clues which these data may offer to the first episodes of star formation. The picture that is emerging is one where the universe at z=3 already included many of the components of today's galaxies.
