False. Animals were made the same day as man!!!!!

The above is true if you believe exclusively in creationism. Science says that all the species of animals that live on earth today make up less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of all the animals that have ever existed. So to answer your question: yes, many species became extinct before mankind altered the earth.

What was the first species to be extinct?

The first life on earth was unicellular organisms. These organisms reproduced asexually, meaning that they reproduced by copying themselves. Because they did not interbreed, a slight mutation in the DNA caused a new species to exist. If one of the mutant cells failed to divide, that was a species becoming extinct. Humans cannot even begin to fathom the number of these species there must have been or when they started to become extinct. Extinction is a natural process and cannot be stopped; when we talk about being concerned about extinction we generally mean extinctions caused by modifications made to the environment by humans.

How can pollution of water cause mass extinction?

If water becomes polluted, certain species will get sick such as fish. Once they get sick, They will start to die off. If they go extinct, animals that eat that fish, will suffer because lack of food. And the system goes on. The animals that eat the fish die off and and their predators will suffer. Such as the rabbit incident in Australia. All the grass was extinct and other herbivores started to suffer. Causing mass extinction upon species.
