  We discuss the evolution of clustering of galaxies in the Universe from the
present epoch back to z ~ 2, using the first-epoch data from the VIMOS-VLT Deep
Survey (VVDS). We present the evolution of the projected two-point correlation
function of galaxies for the global galaxy population, as well as its
dependence on galaxy intrinsic luminosities and spectral types. While we do not
find strong variations of the correlation function parameters with redshift for
the global galaxy population, the clustering of objects with different
intrinsic luminosities evolved significantly during last 8-10 billion years.
Our findings indicate that bright galaxies in the past traced higher density
peaks than they do now and that the shape of the correlation function of most
luminous galaxies is different from observed for their local counterparts,
which is a supporting evidence of a non-trivial evolution of the galaxy vs.
dark matter bias.
