Scientific paper

We discuss the implications of the ISO, SCUBA and Spitzer extragalactic surveys, combined with the COBE cosmic infrared background, on the star-formation history of galaxies. A class of galaxies is emerging, similar to local luminous infrared galaxies, that appears to play a dominant role in the shaping of present-day galaxies. Instead of a class, these observations suggest that these ``dusty starbursts'' should be considered a common phase experienced by most if not all galaxies, once or even several times over their lifetimes.
