The leading candidate for this extinction was the introduction of humans equipped with bows and arrows into its environment through the Bering land bridge.
The African versions of big species were able to co-evolve along with humans as we developed spears, fire, etc. The American ones did not. This is why the American versions of everything from horses to cheetahs disappeared.
