This seems like a very
interesting project that has an associated
Youtube channel. Old works of physical anthropology often included galleries of physical types of different ethnic and racial groups, and for many people this would have been one of the few opportunities to see people much different than themselves. It is nice to see modern technology being used to preserve a snapshot of the appearance of (admittedly not-average) examples of living ethnic groups. Of course, this is not a problem for the more populous or culturally prominent ethnic groups of the world, but when was the last time you saw what a
Kalmyk,
Uyghur,
Kyrghyz,
Altaian,
Bashkir, or
Lezgin looked like? (There seem to be English, French, and Russian versions of some of these materials).

It there a version of this for men?
5th Column 3rd row most beautiful:).
This is a lovely video that appeals directly to the emotional/limbic/aesthetic centers of the mind, bypassing words! Convinces me of the virtues of a universalist or cosmopolitan perspective on the human condition. But I agree with the previous comment that the video is strongly gender biased and could be construed as pandering to the male gaze in the jargon of post-modernist feminism.
I see a lot of women with make-up. that's nonsense.
Close Nirjhar, but I think it's the 8th column 2 row. :)
