This is a very interesting experiment that has been poorly executed. To test for regional variability, she needs to get more samples from every region so that the region signal overcomes the noise due to individual variability. This is more of a test of 40 individuals that happen to be from different regions.

Well, according to her site, this is the result so far. Hopefully she gets far more samples (especially from the US, sheesh).

Agreed. Not only that, it seems the standards for the photo retouchers were not very high.
