El nombre de monosabio procede de un espectáculo circense que tuvo lugar en Madrid hacia 1847 y en el que una cuadrilla de monos amaestrados realizaba una serie de habilidades con el nombre artístico de los «monos sabios». Estos simios vestían unos blusones de color encarnado y al público madrileño le dio por compararlos con los uniformes que vestían los mozos de caballos, llamados hasta entonces con el nombre genérico de chulos.

Human Systems with Oddly Robbie Oddly Robbie An ordinary moment can reveal a much bigger story. A café conversation, a local tradition, or a baffling piece of paperwork—life in Mediterranean Spain gives me plenty to wonder about. Why do things work this way? What shaped them? And why does something familiar to one person feel strange to another? I’m Robbie Ellestad, also known as Oddly Robbie. After living in 22 places around the world in three years, I’m staying long enough to look more closely. Human Systems follows the connections between everyday life, culture, technology, history, and human behaviour. Personal observations, better questions, and the occasional “ah, now I see it” moment. Rooted in Spain. Curious about everywhere. This is an independent personal hobby. I don’t accept donations, sponsorships, paid promotions, or other compensation.
