WHY are all these folks speaking and writing vastly different languages?

Tha languages all belong to the Indo-European language group, so they're all related. Why are they different? Because the people involved live in different parts of Europe.

Or did you have an actual question?

I guess my question would be:

If the languages 'evolved' to stay within a tight little group, then why haven't those humans got physical characteristics that differ markedly from their 'remote' relatives?
