Species can't interbreed...
That's like, the main thing for speciation
You mean like one species? You do know wolves and dogs are still the same species if they can produce fertile offspring, right?
Like, there's a lot of misunderstanding to unwrap here, but I'm thinking you think it's a hard-line and a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua are the same distance from a Gray wolf...
That's not real life, that's the dumb downed version we teach 12 year olds in science class.
Wildly untrue, is that a typo or did you really mean that?
You really should read up on what actually makes a species a separate species, and stop just memorizing the list some racist made centuries ago...
Like, those same people said Africans were a separate species, do you believe that too?
If not, you really should take the time to learn what you're talking about, instead of just repeating centuries old racist takes.

Explain mules lol
Mules are infertile. Cranky science person you are responding to does specify that in one of their rants.
A buffalo can breed with a domestic bull and produce fertile offspring
I’m not agreeing with cranky science person, just saying they specifically mentioned sterility in offspring as a thing in “cross species” mating.
We don't know if hybrids of early humans were sterile. Since we have exactly zero mitochondrial DNA from Neanderthals, it may be the case that Sapiens fathers and Neanderthal mothers produced infertile offspring
