Dog breeds are a result of human intervention. 'Unnatural selection' if you like.. They are all the same species, like humans are all the same species, with superficial adaptations to different climates. 'Race' is a completely man-made idea, by people who only saw different skin colour on others.
If you walk from Europe to the bottom of Africa there is no sudden change.. Skin gradually darkens towards the equator.
Just as the gradual extinction of Neanderthals was a result of "natural selection". Dog breeds are a part of natural selection just as humans are a part of natural selection. Would dogs exist without humans? No, but that doesn't mean it still isn't "natural selection".
Neanderthals and modern humans could interbreed very easily.
Neither are classified as the exact same species...
If you honestly believe that the species of humans you would encounter on your walk through Europe are the same as the species of humans you encounter on your walk through Africa, you are very wrong.
Is there a superior race?

My point is that human races, like dog breeds, are distinct and thus worthy of preservation.
