One example is that the Chinese have been for so many generations a non-dairy-eating people that mostly they don't nowadays have the means of digesting milk products that the rest of us do.

I doubt if it's been measured but I wouldn't be surprised if the Inuit, Sami and other arctic peoples have longer guts or different enzymes in their guts to cope with a mostly-meat diet than multigenerationally mostly- or wholly- vegetarian peoples such as the Brahmins of India.

Goodness. The only one that comes to mind is physical size. Regular access to plentiful and varied food resources during childhood growth leads to bigger people - within limits, I'd expect.
