Scientific paper

We present evidence that damped Lyman-alpha galaxies detected in spectra of
quasars may not have started forming stars until the redshift z~3. If damped
Lyman-alpha absorbers are the progenitors of disk galaxies, then the above
result may indicate that star formation in galactic disks first began at z~3.
