HUMAN FOOTPRINT- Josh Tetrick
A new six-part documentary series, hosted by biologist and Princeton University professor
Shane Campbell-Staton, embarks on a journey to understand all the ways humans have
transformed the planet. Part science series and part travel show, HUMAN FOOTPRINT takes
viewers from farms to restaurants, from a high-tech lab to a sweltering street market, from
pristine rain forests to the sewers of New York City. Stories of science, history, and culture
reveal the complicated, conflicted and remarkable species that is Homo sapiens.
The series is not a “doom and gloom” tale of human villainy. Instead, it is an honest reckoning
with our vast footprint and our species’ singular history of transforming the planet. As our power
to reshape the planet grows, will our understanding of the world we inhabit ever catch up?
