We've had an extremely interesting conference covering the observational as
pects of galaxy evolution near and far. We've come a very long way since th
e earliest papers in the 1960's by Tinsley and others first quantified the
photometric evolution of galaxies. In this summary, I will first go over so
me of the things that we know, such as the background that is often not dis
cussed but which is important to keep in mind while looking at new evidence
. These include the great progress that has been made on the cosmological m
odel and the identification of fluctuations in the Cosmic microwave backgro
und. I'll follow that with a description of what we have learned at this Gr
anadian Euroconference and the questions that either have been newly raised
or have remained to be solved in the future, many of which are not at all
new and are decidedly non-trivial to attack. The article finishes with a de
scription of some promises for the future plus some general caveats about t
he way we do research, including Tarzan's dilemma.
