Actually, I kinda like humans... :}

The last mass extinction at the KT event wipe out a staggering 96% of species on this planet.
In the last 200 years mankind has contributed to the destruction of about 98.8% of the species. Thus from a paleontological point of view mankind has caused a mass extinction! In fact the worst recorded in Geological history.
