No more than wolves and dogs are the same species.

No more than wolves and dogs are the same species.

Not the same thing at all. The domestic dog is a subspecies (familiaris) of Canis lupus which includes all gray wolves. There is one and only one species of humans that exist in the world today and that is Homo sapiens and it does not include any subspecies. There were other species of the genus Homo on the earth at one time, but they are now extinct. The following is a direct quote from the online version of Science and Nature:

"Race is a system of classification of human beings that divides human beings into large subdivisions based upon their anatomical, physical, ethnic, cultural, and geographical differences. There is no biological basis to this system of human classification as all human beings ultimately belong to the same species of Homo sapiens. Race is a concept that is subjective as humans belonging to so called different races can mate and produce human beings naturally."

The last sentence is the true biological definition of a species: a group of organisms that can produce viable offspring that are themselves capable of producing viable offspring. I am sure that you are aware of many examples in your own life of two different races producing a viable offspring which itself has reproduced. (Obama is a case in point.)
