It wouldn't represent a new species truly, unless you could invariably distinguish the organism from either of its ancestors in terms of behaviors, morphology, etc. By that criteria, we can represent blacks and whites as classes as being different species. You can analyze the charred remains of a corpse and use morphological factors to identify race. The research is there pertaining to average IQ differentials between white europeans and black africans, and the difference is substantial.
The hybridization you are describing is mongrelization. A general loss of distinguishing traits between the two parents. I'll tell you who's expense its at, but you already know.
