AnswerOver the last 2000 years, people have changed their hairstyles, the clothes they wear and now often wear jewellery. Urban people are now less often sunburnt and would show less sign of skin damage. Because of diet, many people of ancient time were shorter in stature than some modern people.

Apart from these superficial changes, people of two thousand years ago looked much the same as people today. People of Africa had dark skin and looked much like Africans today. The semitic people of of the Middle East had light brown skin and looked much like the Arabs or some Jews of today.

The people of northern Europe generally had fair skins, and blond or red hair, while those in the south were darker. Europe has had many mass migrations, resulting in intermarriage, so that regional differences are less distinctive today.

Apart from the effects of intermarriage amongst ethnic groups, two thousand years is far too short a period to cause any observable change in how people look. Even minor adaptations take tens of thousands of years.
