Join us for a special co-presentation with PBS SoCal: a screening of the series Human Footprint, Episode “Vanishing Act,” featuring our own La Brea Tar Pits.
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 human footprint and to discover how the things we do reveal who we truly are.
About the Episode: “Vanishing Act”:
From fossils entombed in tar to cells frozen in hope, Shane traces the arc of extinction from prehistory to the present. On an epic global journey, he meets species at the brink of oblivion–and the people who won’t give up on them.
