If one were to take the above practice as a guideline, then the Eskimos and the Australian aborigines would constitute different species, since they generally don't interbreed -- even though presumably they "can" do so!

That's why I said your question was difficult. Your use of the above analogy, based on coyotes and dogs, actually leads to the wrong answer in humans.

All human groups can interbreed and are considered the same genus, species, and subspecies. The genetic and physical differences among human groups are extremely minor.
