Abstract
We discuss recent observational results describing exploratory steps taken to describe the evolutionary status of the clustering of galaxies in the Universe on scales ~ 1 Mpc. The clustering of galaxies is seen to be strongly evolving from the distribution of galaxies in the Canada France Redshift Survey, from epochs when the universe was 40% of its current age. Massive clusters of galaxies are being identified around radio galaxies at z ~ 1, indicating that deep potential wells are already in place at these epochs. At yet higher redshifts, tentative evidence for clustering is seen around radio-galaxies. We speculate that we are only now entering a very rich era in which the evolution of the clustering in the universe and its evolution will be examined in details.
