Local ultraluminous galaxy mergers provide us with a quantitative observational means to track an important process for galaxy formation and evolution at high redshift. This article presents first results from a near-infrared spectroscopic study of a moderately large sample of local Universe mergers that we have undertaken at the VLT with ISAAC. This study is providing compelling observational evidence that mergers of near-equal-mass, gas-rich galaxies can evolve into intermediate-mass elliptical galaxies after passing through an ultraluminous infrared phase.
