I would like to focus on one aspect regarding the evolution of Galactic stellar populations that is particularly relevant to discussions at this symposium: Where were the sites of early star formation in the Galaxy? The large scatter in abundance ratios for metal poor stars suggests multiple early settings of star formation in the Milky Way. In this and other ways, interpretation of detailed stellar chemical abundance analyses are converging with those of spatial-kinematical analyses of field stars, star clusters and satellite galaxies.
