It might not be different because FH never really described what everyone
looked like, and they could look Asian in the future. Who knows? Maybe
that's what everyone will look like. However, the characters could still
have their Greek ancestors, etc.

There's a lot that FH didn't really describe, and so he left it up to the
reader to imagine. He described some intense fight scenes, and I think it
would be cool to depict the scenes as if the characters were super martial
artists, so to speak. The way I figure it, since mankind had thousands of
years to perfect the techniques, the resulting martial arts scenes should
be
spectacular.
