An emblematic animal of the Pyrenees and a recurring figure in Pyrenean prehistoric art, the ibex has maintained close ties with human societies since ancient times. Bringing together some fifty specialists, the first volume of this work offers an original overview ranging from the fossil history of the ibex to current programs for its reintroduction, from its ethology to its role in prehistoric and medieval iconography. It is dedicated to Jean Clottes, prehistorian, honorary general curator of heritage and international specialist in decorated caves.
