I am pretty certain there are other theories about how creatures like the Mammoth died that seem somewhat more realistic then us killing them all with bows, arrows, spears, fire and occasionally driving them off a cliff (Which the Neanderthals did, but they did it for food, so they didn’t need to or want to kill them all). A creature that has become so specialised on its specific environment is by definition dependant on that environment not changing. So when the ice age ended, both plants and animals that had become too dependent on these climates died out. Humans have killed or had inadvertently become responsible for a lot of things dying, but it feels like a pinpoint of human arrogance to say we killed everything that has died out.

Besides, humans didn’t get up and go “let’s kill everything!” like the Reapers do, so the comparison is pointless. With the original point, I highly doubt a race of machines that have been killing for millions of years, who have set up a whole system to mold organics as they like, who’s reproductive cycle requires millions of us to be killed, who have the technology to brainwash and for force us to submit, is going to stop because of Shepard’s charming words. Yeah, reason with them. . . how did that go for Saren again?
