If humans were any other animal, there would be separate species and subspecies of the Homo genus currently populating the world. There are several different species of chimpanzee that look almost identical, but there is only one species of humans who look WILDLY different. Australian Aboriginals and Koreans being categorized as the same species is laughably dishonest. But, feelings are involved so we treat the world with kid gloves.
If coyotes, wolves, and domestic dogs are different species, then pygmy, abo, oriental, etc. should also be different species.
Just being able to reproduce together and have viable offspring DOES NOT qualify things to be the same species. This is why it is so important to explain to mixed race families that neither of the parents can ever donate bone marrow to their child, and it is VERY unlikely to find a donor. Things like this should come up before having children. Genetics don't care about feelings. Just because it makes people feel good to say we are all Homo sapiens doesn't make it fact.
Species is defined not by appearance, but by ability to breed and produce viable offspring with the ability to reproduce. You are in fact totally incorrect on that point as well as the bone marrow point lol
Multiracial patients often have an incredibly hard time finding life-saving marrow matches.
You are incorrect on both claims. Fertile offspring is ONE of the criteria for speciation. Coyotes and wolves can produce fertile offspring. As can all breeds of chimpanzee. And tigers. Yet these all have multiple species.
Another differentiation is overlapping habitats. Well, when you artificially move one species in with another, does that make them magically the same species?
The only difference is a matter of transportation. So if we put all tigers from different places into the same zoo, by your logic they are the same species.
Dogs and Wolves are not different species. Dogs are literally a wolf subspecies. Though on the topic of dogs, the closest analog to the various races of humans is the various breeds of dogs and cats.
Species is a biological classification. Race is not. All homo sapiens are the same species, there are no scientific sub categories or homo sapiens

Coyotes and wolves then. Very similar, can have fertile offspring, different species.
Various chimpanzees. Same deal. Tigers. Same deal.
You want me to believe abos and Koreans are the same species of animal? lol.
