Abstract

In this brief survey we have tried to place classification theory in a historical setting. We have described some of the notable results in the subject and indicated some current problems. We have touched on the lively interaction between stability theory and finite group theory. We have explored in more detail the beginnings of what we hope will be an equally fruitful interaction with the theory of algebraic groups.

Our survey has not even mentioned all the papers in this volume. Who knows what the future will bring?
