It is relative. The Eemian interglacial, the one before the current Holocene interglacial, was nearly 4 C warmer than today. It was during the Eemian period that modern humans evolved. The current climate is relatively cool if you take things into perspective. Indeed, even without human intervention, Earth is on a rapid path towards recovery to a warmer state where temperature is higher and sea ice is much less than now.

And how does it coincides with mass extinctions?
