Well, I woulda linked but the document contains no data and all. Mostly a lot of smug stuff about the original source of the pictures, and whether these women are 'real' women and how Americans are fat. Also some smug about the lack of women of color, a sentiment represented here but w/o so much the smug.

Yeah, but ummm, they're naked! :) Hooray for naked!
okay, I had to go have a look... Not so bad, really. Somehow I expected it to be a lot more nervegrinding, but that, apparently, is just my bias.
I do wonder what the statement is supposed to be though... the slightness of ethnic variation, especially... And sure, the height and weight general similarity... I don't think noticing that and wondering why is much wacky.
What bothers me is that the guy who made the flash animation doesn't credit his source for the photographs, a Japanese photographer (whose name escapes me), who made these as part of a book (not anatomical studies, like is alledged in the MeFi thread).
