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