Animals should not be kept in cages?

They should not be kept in cages. Imagine yourself sitting in a cage, having people watch you from afar. All you eat is stale food, but you know that if you do not eat it you will die. The average lifespan of an elephant is 50-70 years, but a zoo elephant is 16-18 years. Birds were born to fly, not have their wings clipped just to have themselves watched and stared at everyday. Two polar bears seen by a visitor were pulled away from their families and forced to breed, and the visitor said that the polar bears were very dull. If we are free, they deserve to be free.

Scientists have proven that mammoths lived the same time as humans by finding fossils by each other ( human and mammoth fossils.) then doing dating tests to see if they're the same number of years old. And yes indeed fossils of humans and mammoths have been found that have been alive the same year as each other. This also proves that humans lived in the time of the ice age.

There are also mammoth bones that have been cut by spears and by stone knives.

There are also many examples of cave drawings of the woolly mammoth and carbon dating of fossils show them to have been around as recently as 9,000 years ago.

So to answer your question: yes, many species became extinct before mankind altered the earth.
