By the same logic then dogs are still wolves.

And if you continue that backward you don't have any species at all???

He is using the standard biological science defininiton of species life-domain-kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species you are using some other species definition which you will need to define.

Under life-domain-kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species
dog and wolf are different as are man and ape. They merely share a common ancestory.

You want to define a different species definition they may not be, wont be sure until you define it.
