Humans have "wiped off the planet" maybe a few hundred mammal species over the last 300K years. Meanwhile we are discovering 30-60 new mammal species every year.

Right, maybe in a million years they'll evolve into the large animals we wiped out. Unless you're just fine with anything larger than a dog being dead.
We discover 1-2 new large mammals every year out of those 30-60 total. They're not gone, they're just different.
