Description
Summary:	Earth has never experienced anything like us: a single species dominating and transforming the planet. Biologist Shane Campbell-Staton travels the globe to explore our impact. Because while we may tell ourselves what it means to be human, the clearest vision of who we are emerges from what we do. In that way, Human Footprint tackles the biggest story of all - the story of who we really are. Episode 6: This episode hits close to home as Shane unravels the history and science of cotton, a crop that reshaped a landscape, a culture, and the very DNA of the American people. Shane explores how a prehistoric coastline laid the foundation for the cultivation of cotton, which became a cornerstone of the American economy. Along the way, Shane begins to realize, "This part of the Human Footprint ... is me".
