Are all extinctions man made?
Extinction is caused by both. If there is a natural disaster, it can wipe out whole species. For example, climate changes such as the end of the ice age. There were some mammals that evolved into animals we know today and there were some that could not evolve fast enough and did not survive. Man can cause extinction by over-hunting animals or destroying their habitats. For example, the Dodo was a flightless, defensive bird which stood no chance when man colonised their island.

Extinction of any species is caused by either the complete loss of all indivduals of the species, by the inability of the remaining individuals to successfully reproduce or by a reduced genepool that is not diverse enough for the species to survive long term or outside of controlled captivity. While some species have been brought back from the brink of extinction most of these species will not survive long term due to a diminished gene pool that cannot adapt to change.
