Humans are responsible for most mammalian extinctions for the past 125,000 years. That's an insane amount of time! 
The rate at which mammals are going extinct is also going up as we humans continue to change the climate. Polar bears for example, losing their habitat due to the melting ice caps, which we have been causing since the industrial revolution. Also rainforest are being cut down.
Finally, the pleistocene, came to an end when most of Earth's megafauna went extinct. There is much debate as to the reason they went extinct but likely due to the over predation by human hunters and the end of the Ice Age. We still over hunt today, trophy hunting is the worst.
