Sure, all of that is true. I just want to point out that sub-Saharan Africans are further removed genetically from Europeans than dogs are from wolves.
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that we are different species.

We're not different species, we're a species complex since we can all still interbreed. The inability to produce fertile offspring is one of the defining terms to differentiate a species. If you crossbreed a horse with a donkey you get a sterile mule. Crossbreeding any human with another just results in a still fertile human.
Sub species is probably the better option to distinguish things.

Were Neanderthals a different species from Homo sapiens?
