In the preceding sections the observed properties of the high-redshift galaxies have been described. There are still gaps in our knowledge, and some quantitative results have uncomfortably large error bars. Nevertheless, the observational results which have been accumulated during the past years already provide important information and valuable empirical constraints on the formation of galaxies and on the origin of the present-day structured universe. In the following some of these observational results will be compared to the theoretical predictions, and the implications of the observational facts for our present cosmological concepts will be discussed.
