How would you explain that dogs and wolves can sometimes interbreed despite being 2 different species

Because they are similar enough as animals.  But I also mentioned in an early post that "species" was a classification developed by man.  And like anything man made, it's subject to revision/correction.

So you believe that the dog and the wolf both appeared in nature, identical enough to be capable of breeding, but distinct in their own creation.

Ie; the wolf appeared in the northern hemisphere 30k years ago, and the dog in southern china 15k years ago, and it's just sheer coincidence that they are 99.9% genetically similar.

 

Or are you saying that the wolf showed up 30k years ago, and it just started to look and act differently over the course of time (15k years)and that dogs are actually wolves.
