Abstract
Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies are the most metal-deficient star-forming galaxies known in the universe, with metallicities ranging from 1/40 to 1/3 that of the Sun. I review how they constitute excellent nearby laboratories for studying big bang nucleosynthesis and star formation and galaxy evolution processes in a nearly primordial environment. © 2008 International Astronomical Union 2008.
