This is a review of the observational evidence concerning compact supermassive objects, their formation and evolution, and their dynamical interaction with dense stellar systems in galactic nuclei.

      All these have never yet been seen -
      But Scientists, who ought to know,
      Assure us that they must be so…
      Oh! let us never, never doubt
      What nobody is sure about!
      Hilaire Belloc, 1910.
