All sorts of birth control methods barrier and hormonal, with agency all good but choice taken away is not so good and happened more than we thought, even today. Birth control does go back a very long way historically. Populations living at high altitudes all over the world. Also karakoram in china india and pakistan. Some people living higher than 15,000 feet. Do have population centers (municipal centers) but traditionally not very many.
