Were other humans the first victims of the sixth mass extinction?

FearlessFly comments on Nov 27, 2019:

The sixth (current) extinction book is not-at-all about (relatively) current 'elmination' of humans. (from the Library Journal) "In this deeply felt and well-researched report, Kolbert (Field Notes from a Catastrophe) argues that, unlike prior mass extinction events that were caused by natural disasters, the current accelerated disappearance of animal and plant species can be blamed on human activities. Adopting the term Anthropocene, as first coined by Eugene F. Stoermer, Kolbert contends that the advent of humans as the dominant species on Earth marks a distinct geologic age during which the environment is shaped not by nature but by humans."
