      Actually, your "point" disproves what you state. Tigers and Lions are different species, albeit close ones, since their offspring are always sterile. Same for every other combination you mention. So, "being able to breed" does not define a single species, but "being able to breed and bear fertile offspring" does.

      Therefore all humans are the same species.
