Critics emphasize that, as yet, no one has documented the bones of an extinct Australian/New Guinean giant with compelling evidence of its having been killed by humans, or even of its having lived in association with humans.
In this sentence, does "evidence of having been killed" mean that "evidence that it had been killed"?
please someone make me understand this sentence properly. Thanks in advance.

I think that's what it is going for, yes. But structurally this sentence seems pretty messy.
I'd look for something more like: "Critics emphasize that, as yet, no documented bones of the extinct Asutralian/New Guinean giant [...animal?] show any compelling evidence that it was killed by humans, or even that it lived in association with humans."
