What is 1 thing that has changed about humans over the last 2000 years. This change must be completely physical, mental changes do not count.

Health. With progressing medicine, more sick people survive and pass their genes on to the next generation.
Diabetes is the best example of this. Very inheritable and becoming universal.

probably nothing, since 2000 years isn't long enough for any evolutionary traits to change in a way that is significant enough to notice or even be measured.
However, there is one significant difference that has changed in two-thousand years.
People are now able to travel to any point on the earth. Which means a lot of inter-racial breeding, which leads to a lot of new mixtures of traits that, generally, weren't seen before.
But you really have to understand that two thousand years is nothing when it comes to genetic evolution...
very very little would ever change in two thousand years. As in physical differences...
the major differences are cultural, political and technological...
Now, if you're not talking about genetically...
then you could say...
there are more toxins in our food/environment which means there are more of them in our bodies...
you could say that people wear their hair differently...that's physical, right?
our teeth are probably healthier...
we live longer because of medicine and what not...
we're probably less physically fit overall since we don't really need to farm or fight battles with swords etc...
keep in mind that's not a genetic change...because if we were thrown back into the medieval era we could be the same as those guys were with the same work.
