Important progresses have been made in two fronts in the few past years.

On the theoretical ground, we have realized the importance of the quark-hadron phase transition as possibly influencing in a major way the yields of die primordial nucleosynthesis isotopes.

On the observational ground, the status of lithium as a bona-fide cosmological observable has been confirmed and its primordial abundance can be evaluated with increased confidence.
