Scientific paper

It has become common in the last few years to apply standard population synthesis models to the interpretation of the observed properties of the most distant galaxies known, approaching redshift of 4 to 5. In this paper I will review the uncertainties introduced in the interpretation of distant galaxies by the assumptions made in these models concerning: stellar evolution, initial mass function, star formation rate, chemical composition, stellar libraries and extinction by dust.
