We do look similar. If we were any more alike it would be impossible to tell people apart by sight (and Ha-Shem didn’t give us a strong sense of smell, unlike dogs). If you compare humans to the nearest non-human based on genetics and anatomy (various types of apes), you should have no trouble telling them apart. Difference such as height, skin color, etc, and actually trivial and change quickly whenever people move to new regions (i.e. after a few thousand years, people who migrated to high mountains developed better lungs to handle the thin air). You should note that when humans who look “different” live in close proximity, they produce children with characteristics from both parents, which further supports my argument that physical differences are negligible.
