Do you think what I said is true, though? That there's probably more genetic similarity between wolves and dogs than between far-flung human populations?

Yeah but that dosen't nesecarilly translates to phenotypical differences. The selection pressures between various breeds of dogs where very different from each other (duh, we made it so that it would be for our gain), its not necessary at all that the selective pressures on various human ethnicities varied by as much, so its possible differences are smaller (again pretty obvious considering that dog breeds differ by appearance more than races of humans).
