Global disasters, which are becoming more frequent today, reveal the seriousness of the warnings from scientists that ecological problems will gradually become more prominent and will directly affect lives. Contrary to popular belief, the disasters that have shaken social lifestyles are neither surprising nor unexpected. In fact, human activities has long been upsetting the global equilibrium and this transition is about to end up with these and similar consequences. To perceive the reasons lying beneath the ecological balance that become delicate and fragile, it’s essential to re-examine the global damage caused by human activities. Only thus it will be possible to reduce the damage given to the earth and to develop a more nature- friendly, consistent living-style. Thus studying the thousands years of suppression imposed on the living forms other than humans seems important to understand how the ecological balance has been damaged. To this end, in this study natural and human based/anthropogenic causes of extinction were handled and the differences between these two factors were evaluated. The study argues that the anthropogenic extinction, in various ways, differ than those of naturally occurred and terminated extinctions and thus must be taken into account as a serious phenomenon in order to achieve global ecological balance.
