But the point is that when I was first in Gombe in 1960 -- I remember so well, so vividly, as though it was yesterday -- the first time, when I was going through the vegetation, the chimpanzees were still running away from me, for the most part, although some were a little bit acclimatized -- and I saw this dark shape, hunched over a termite mound, and I peered with my binoculars.
Ma il punto è che quando ero a Gombe nel 1960 – lo ricordo come se fosse ieri – ed ero in mezzo alla vegetazione per la prima volta, la maggior parte degli scimpanzé scappava da me sebbene alcuni fossero già acclimatati, e io vidi questa figura nera, curva su un mucchio di termiti, e la osservai con il binocolo.
