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.
