How come human beings look so different? There's a fixed number of features (eyes, mouth, nose, etc.) but two people rarely look alike.
Do animals also vary facially to the same extent as us? What about insects?

You are born recognizing different human faces.
Monkeys are born recognizing different monkey faces.
To me, two chimps are basically indistinguishable, and to chimps two humans are basically indistinguishable.
Even among only humans, at first identical twins are easy to confuse but once you get to know them they seem very different.

different species of humans. Inter breeding helps to reduce distinct features in the mixed races.

Westerners moving to te Far East have often problems telling people apart, claiming they all look the same. A few weeks later the problem in differentiating people is gone. It is just a question of adapting your mind to tell the minute differences there are, amplifying them and seeing a difference.
Concepts such as "beauty" is just a proxy for health, something people see immediately and was crucial in prehistoric times to figure out who to breed with an who to avoid.
Beautiful: she can become to mother of my children
Sweet: I can live with this woman also after she has had my children
Lovely: I can trust this woman not to murder me in my sleep.
It is just all about survival.

There's not so many white people as other people by a great amount. Also there are atleast 10 people that look like you anyway.

OK senpai, but why do Asians look the same? They not human?

NTA I don't about about ducks but in the past shepherds could usually know what sheeps were theirs just by their physical or vocal characteristics

When I was in second grade we moved to a rural part of Alabama where the school was something like 97% black. Initially they all looked the same to me but after a few weeks, I started to be able to distinguish black features, which are more subtle than white features.

Welcome to /sci/, where being able to spot ratios is a useful skill.
How many times did you fail geometry?

There are there are about only 5,000 types of human everyone else is a copy , derivative or a mixture of the original group that's why sometimes you see people who look alike because they have common ancestry. Pay attention to certain last names nuyen and Nugent both have common origin and ( Jung and young) tell the story of two different groups separated by thousands of miles but having similar origin
