Oh yes we were. And for believers, God was also there watching the whole thing while thinking up stuff to put in His holy books.

...Modern humans began to migrate out of Africa to Asia between 60,000 and 80,000 years ago, and then to Australia around 45,000 years ago and finally crossing to North and South America around 15,000 years ago.

And when humans set foot on a new continent, waves of extinctions followed, according to experts.

In an article published in NCBI, the authors argued the timeline of mammal extinctions is closely intertwined to the first human colonization on different continents.

“And direct or indirect human involvement in these events is now widely accepted by most paleontologists,” the authors stated...

Most large herbivores now face extinction, our study shows

Across the globe today, populations of large-bodied mammals are in rapid decline (1–5). This is a continuation of an extinction event that has been ongoing for more than 100 ky. As humans became increasingly abundant and dispersed around the globe over the late Quaternary, a temporally and spatially transgressive extinction of large-bodied mammals followed

Loss of large land mammals could change landscapes forever
