The stars that make a galaxy are born in different environments and times. Thus, their stellar populations contain rich information about the different stages through which the galaxy evolved. In the last couple of decades stellar population synthesis models have been crucial to interpret the observations of galaxies and to infer their star formation and mass assembly histories. The goal of this review is to discuss the main uncertainties in the evolutionary synthesis models and their impact on the analysis of the galaxy spectra. A summary of the most recent achievements obtained in stellar populations studies and the future challenges in the context of the Spanish astronomy are presented.
