About Shane Campbell-Staton

Shane Campbell-Staton is an evolutionary biologist and Assistant Professor at Princeton University. He’s interested in how human history, culture, technology and politics influence life, biological stress and evolution of species around the world. He uses physiology, gene expression, genomics and experimentation to identify genes and traits that allow animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressures faced in a human-dominated world.

Shane also has a drive to share science with the public. His own passion for science was kindled through TV. Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, he wasn’t exposed to much nature or the outdoors. But watching nature documentaries and TV shows featuring passionate presenters, like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin, he developed a love for the natural world. And today, Shane is sharing his own passions, the wonders of science, and the impact of our species on the planet as the host of Human Footprint on PBS.
