We present evidence that damped Lyman-alpha galaxies detected in spectra of quasars may not have started forming stars until the redshift z 3. If damped Lyman-alpha absorbers are the progenitors of disk galaxies, then the above result may indicate that star formation in galactic disks first began at z 3.
