Big Bang nucleosynthesis provides a unique probe of the early evolution of the Universe and a crucial test of the consistency of the standard hot Big Bang cosmological model. Although the primordial abundances of ^2H, ^3He, ^4He, and ^7Li inferred from current observational data are in agreement with those predicted by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, recent analysis has severely restricted the consistent range for the nucleon-to-photon ratio: 3.7 <= eta10 <= 4.0. Increased accuracy in the estimate of primordial ^4He and observations of Be and B in Pop II stars are offering new challenges to the standard model and suggest that no new light particles may be allowed (NBBN_ν <= 3.0, where N_ν is the number of equivalent light neutrinos).
