From a purely scientific standpoint
Every other thing has many of the same Genus but different species, why are all humans Homo Sapiens ?
Simiens, Canines, Felines all different
A Gorilla is different than an Orangutang.
A Rottie is different than a poodle.
A Tiger is certainly different than a domestic short hair.
Am I wrong ? If so Why ?

I think all domestic dogs are the same species since they can mate and produce offspring. Different dogs are called breeds.
Gorillas and Orangutangs are different species. Can't mate.
All people can interbreed (try it!) so they are the same species.
