Popis: The evidence is reviewed that Population I Wolf-Rayet stars have solar abundances, that they are surrounded by remnant disks formed from their natal cloud, and that their rate of mass loss is moderate. These properties are consistent with Wolf-Rayet stars being young objects recently arrived on the main sequence rather than the evolved, peeled-down remnants of massive stars.
