100% of all people who have ever lived have died. Does this mean we don't draw attention to genocide?

There's no such thing as genocide in the (non-human) animal kingdom. There is only natural selection.

You've completely sidestepped the analogy and are just talking past me.

The analogy is nonsense.

I’ll lay it out for you more explicitly:

Animals have always died as a part of nature, therefore we shouldn’t care about humans causing extinctions.

Is the same as saying:

Humans have always died as a part of nature, therefore we shouldn’t care about humans causing genocides.

Is this an intelligent way to think?
