A considerable fraction of dwarf galaxies may represent fossils of the very first star formation in the universe. If true, in much the same way as paleontologists reconstruct the prehistoric life from the fossils, it is possible to reconstruct the general feature of the star formation history at high redshift. Until quite recently, it has been believed that almost all dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local group had experienced a sharp decline in the SFR about 10 Gyr ago. This may not be true, however, as latest spectra of individual stars in Draco, Ursa Minor, and Sextans taken by Keck indicate a clear drop of [
