Could you describe to me how they looked different? I'm not looking for cultural body modifications, but descriptions like skin color, skull shape, and cranial

  Typically somewhat different shape of facial features. E.g. the long nose stereotype is there for a reason. The fact that you think cranial capacity is a "looks different" that would affect people's choice of sexual partners is ... odd. It's not something you can tell from the outside, typically.

I'm under the impression that it's not actually possible to identify any ethnic groups based on the stereotypical jew nose. >The fact that you think cranial capacity is a "looks different" that would affect people's choice of sexual partners is ... odd. I don't think that. You're asking me if Jews and Poles were different sub-species. Different sub-species must have different patterns of attributes. It doesn't have to be an attribute that people sexually select for, or that can be observed from the outside. I'm asking whether scientists could find such different patterns of attributes. My guess is that the answer is that there wouldn't be anywhere near sufficient differences to warrant considering them a sub-species, but I don't have near enough information to say.
