Yes.

Or perhaps I misunderstand the question.  Many
domesticates, including dogs, cats, cattle,
maize, guar, probably tomato, wheat, triticale,
some begonias, tangelos, perhaps modern straw-
berry, grapefruit, ..., are different species
than existed before or outside of domestication.
Is that what you wanted?
