This paper reviews the star formation history of the Universe, from the first stars to the current day, with emphasis on the critical analysis of the techniques that have been used to determine it, especially considering the role of dust. We consider the first population of stars, the Population III stars, were formed at redshifts ranging as high as z ~ 60, the formation of the Globular Clusters, the main epoch of galaxy formation. In the sub-mm galaxies and high-redshift radio galaxies the collapse of massive galaxies was surprisingly rapid, and that the growth of super-massive black holes at their centers provides the energy input to eject the galactic interstellar medium while at the same time precipitating a final burst of star formation and the ejection of their ISM so that the subsequent evolution of these galaxies is passive.
