We use observations and evolutionary models of local objects to interpret a recent determination of the star-formation history of the universe. By fitting the global star-formation rate, the model predicts the ratio of spheroid to disk mass of ~1, an intergalactic medium (IGM) whose mass is ~2.3 times the mass in stars, and whose metallicity is ~0.1 Z⊙.
