Whenever I look at anatomy charts and alike, humans are basically the same when it comes to the basic components. Brain, teeth, tongue, mouth, and throat has the same body parts and proportionate sizes with other people, albeit a tiny bit off. So how come we have created very distinct languages and words which has almost no commonality with each other, instead of close and related forms of languages when our body parts are practically the same?

Because it has more to do with external factors like culture. The human is capable of learning and producing all the sounds of every human language, especially when you are a baby. The reasons adults have a hard time producing sounds accurately from a different language is not biological but more physiological. How the brain is wired – muscle memory or lack thereof.
