Spanish term or phrase: rancias, se ven rancias imágenes documentales de los primeros años sesenta
Se ven rancias imágenes documentales de los primeros años sesenta en los que un chimpancé está atado a un asiento anatómico con expresión de miedo mientras le conectan electrodos al corazón y a la cabeza. Rodeado de aparatos y de batas blancas, el animal tiene una desarmada inocencia infantil, una mezcla de pasiva acepación y de alarma. (Antonio Muñez Molina, "Nuestros semejantes")
