Abstract

The occupation and transformation of mountains by human societies is the most extraordinary process that has occurred in the world’s mountain ranges since the expansion and contraction of glaciers in the Late Pleistocene. The climatic changes that took place in the last 50,000 years are of exceptional intensity, covering the mountains with ice and snow and allowing the expansion of glaciers and their ice tongues.
