Is there any differences on a human body from the 1600’s and 2000’s?

Question

I wanna know if there are any differences from them. How have we adapted and stuff in 400 years.

That’s definitely less than 10 generations (maybe even <5). This is like your great-grandparent’s great grandparents more or less. Super old people from the 1800’s only barely died off in the last 20 years and that’s only 1 generation.

Nothing has changed at the level you’re asking. I’d argue nothing has even barely changed mentally either and for even longer than that (i.e. “monkeys with cell phones”).
