As far as humans are concerned, there is no such thing as "race" from a biological standpoint. It's one of the big things they teach repeatedly in anthropology (in which I have my BA), that there really is no such thing as "race" except culturally. It's a social classification, not a biological one.

"Race" is NOT the same as species, which it seems you're confusing it with. It is impossible for different species to create fertile offspring (thus why a horse and a donkey are not the same species, even though they can produce offspring as a mule).

Races and breeds also really aren't the same thing, considering the degree of differences between the two. Think about it... breeds may be inter-fertile but they are more diverse-looking than human "races." Since "race" is typically determined by looks, then it doesn't make sense to say that races and breeds are the same classification.

Your conclusion is right though.. there really is only one human "race," yet many different ethnicities and cultures. We're all more alike than we are different.
