No, by physiological differences I was referring to things beneath the skin that aren't visible to us. Take IQ for one, or medical qualities etc.The physiological differences are the phenotypic differences, such as colour of skin, hair, eyes etc. The so called 'psychological' differences, like culture, religion, language etc are expressions of human society detached from any phenotypic differences. For example, anyone is free to chose what religion they follow, or none if it's the case, anyone is free to use any language they prefer, or to follow any culture they chose, for example, people who are second, third, fourth generation immigrants may share very little in common with the culture of their ancestors. That also demonstrates that what we call 'race', culture, language, etc is not a static entity, it changes over time, the cultures, nation states, languages etc that exist today didn't appear ex nihilo, they emerged over time from something else.
These differences are not contingent on culture.
