Abstract
I analyze the properties of the first galaxies in cosmologieal simulations with radiative feedback. Preliminary results indicate similarities with the observed properties of the bulk of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Local Group. I briefly discuss observational tests that could help in understanding the impact of a population of small primordial objects on cosmic evolution.
