Genuine question, what does this mean (if anything) for supermassive black hole formation? Have they found, or could they even find, evidence for SBH's at the center of these galaxies? As I understand it, SBH formation is still a hot topic of debate, and the existence of these galaxies with them would put the formation of them at just a couple of hundred million years after the big bang, possibly even earlier.

Reply to 87 newly-discovered galaxies, found using Webb space telescope, could be earliest known galaxies in the universe — the first indication that a lot of galaxies could have formed much earlier than previously thought by marketrent
