The answer to this question is not known. It is possible humans hunted the mammoths into extinction. It is also likely we will never be certain about the answer to this question. We have caused the extinction of numerous other interesting species, such as thylacine.
Since when did animals become extinct?
The extinction of animals - and in a wider sense of biological beings- has always taken place. Actually several so called major extinction events (time periods with a high rate of loss of species) have occurred throughout the times. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event) More interestingly humans are more carefully taking note of possible extinction of animals as the beginning of 1800. This is to be seen with the mapping and charting of species which hence allowed humans to perceive extinction. It can be reasoned that extinction to some degree is a natural phenomena (which even took place before human impact possible). Still the current loss of biodiversity (which is also represented in animals becoming extinct) is something new. It is the first time that the loss of biodiversity is caused by a certain species (humans) instead of major changes in the environment.

Why are scientists concerned about specis loss if extinction is a natural process?
The extinction rate is much higher than it would be without humans, therefore most animals would have not gone extinct had it not been for human intervention.
