Why do we look the way we do?

Well, that is a hard question to answer. Humans look like humans because that is just the way we are. Asking this question is just like asking why do animals look like animals? Not all animals look like each other. It is that same way with Humans.

There are also two different answers to this question. From an evolutionary perspective, we could say that humans evolved to fill a certain niche, and the requirements to fill that niche produce a certain type of appearance. From a religious perspective, we could cite The Bible, which says that God created man in His own image.
