There exists a gradual, but persistent, evolutionary effect in the galaxy
population such that galaxy structure and morphology change with redshift. This
galaxy structure-redshift relationship is such that an increasingly large
fraction of all bright and massive galaxies at redshifts 2 < z < 3 are
morphologically peculiar at wavelengths from rest-frame ultraviolet to
rest-frame optical. There are however examples of morphologically selected
spirals and ellipticals at all redshifts up to z ~ 3. At lower redshift, the
bright galaxy population smoothly transforms into normal ellipticals and
spirals. The rate of this transformation strongly depends on redshift, with the
swiftest evolution occurring between 1 < z < 2. This review characterizes the
galaxy structure-redshift relationship, discusses its various physical causes,
and how these are revealing the mechanisms responsible for galaxy formation.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures. Invited Review to appear in "Penetrating Bars
