There would almost certainly be evidence of plastics use in geological layers, and likely runaway unexplained climate change. Other impacts that may be found are fossils, evidence of machine working or excavation in the form of deep mines. But, geologically speaking, we would very likely have seen some extremely confusing sedimentary layers SOMEWHERE on earth by now that would give us an inkling that we were not the first big thinkers on the planet.
Interestingly, there are several mass extinction/ climate change events that have no definite known cause. The largest in earth's history, for example:

~250 million years ago, it is quite far removed from us geologically, and was even ~20 million years prior to Dinosaurs existing.
Maybe.
