In these proceedings, we summarize recent results from our "SINS" VLT/SINFONIintegral-field survey, focusing on the 52 detected UV/optically-selectedstar-forming galaxies at z~2. Our H-alpha emission-line imaging and kinematicdata of these systems illustrates that a substantial fraction (> 1/3) of thesegalaxies are large, rotating disks and that these disks are clumpy, thick, andforming stars rapidly. We compare these systems to local disk scaling relationsand find that the backbones of these relations are already in place at z~2.Detailed analysis of the large disks in our sample provides strong evidencethat this population cannot result from a merger-dominated formation historyand instead must be assembled by the smooth but rapid inflow of gas alongfilaments. These systems will then secularly evolve from clump-dominated disksto bulge-dominated disks on short timescales, a phenomenon that is observed inour SINS observations and is consistent with predictions from numericalsimulations. These results provide new and exciting insights into the formationof bulge-dominated galaxies in the local Universe.
