Abstract: Understanding the physics of the baryonic component of galaxies is clearly critical to understanding the nature of dark matter, particularly on galaxy scales. Resolved stellar populations play a unique role in constraining important aspects such as the merger history of galaxies in the Local Group, and in tracing the dark matter density profile, as briefly reviewed here.
