What Is 'Human Footprint'?

Season 1 | 9m 29s

"Human Footprint" is unlike any other science, natural history, or travel series out there, because it’s all of those things and then some. It’s a journey guided by biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, scored by hip-hop legend Adrian Younge, and made endlessly entertaining by a dazzling array of characters. At its core, "Human Footprint" asks: what do the things we do tell us about who we are?
