Abstract
The results of improved calculations of the abundances of the nuclei produced in big-bang models of the early universe are presented. In addition to the standard model, other possible universes are considered, including the recent statistical bootstrap theory of Carlitz, Frautschi, and Nahm. Some conclusions which can be drawn about the nature of the early universe, depending upon whether the observed deuterium and helium are of galactic or cosmological origin, are presented.
