Scientific paper

New observational data are becoming available that for the first time provide empirical information on the clustering of galaxies at very high redshifts. It turns out that the actual level of clustering of distant galaxies is not very sensitive to cosmological parameters because of the expected cosmology--dependent level of galaxy bias with respect to the dark matter distribution. The observations are quite well suited, on the other hand, to testing ideas about how and where galaxies form relative to the dark matter distribution, and the shape of matter fluctuation power spectrum on scales which today are well into the non-linear regime. While the apparent "evolution" of galaxy clustering may have a very complicated relationship to the growth of matter fluctuations, epoch to epoch comparisons will provide essential observational input into our general understanding of the relation between galaxy formation/evolution and the development of larger scale structure.
