  The recent announcement of a discovery of a possible Higgs-like particle -its
spin and parity is yet to be determined- at the LHC with a mass of 126 GeV
necessitates a fresh look at the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking,
in particular if this newly-discovered particle will turn out to have the
quantum numbers of a Standard Model Higgs boson. Even if it were a $0^+$ scalar
with the properties expected for a SM Higgs boson, there is still the
quintessential hierarchy problem that one has to deal with and which, by
itself, suggests a new physics energy scale around 1 TeV. This article presents
a mini-review of one possible scenario: The formation of a fermion-antifermion
condensate coming from a very heavy fourth generation and carrying the quantum
number of the the SM Higgs field and thus breaking the electroweak symmetry.
