An international jury composed of Mark Beaumont (United Kingdom), Lounes Chikhi (France, Portugal), Pierre Darlu (France), Mark Jobling (United Kingdom), and William Leonard (United States) has selected the article “Demography and Language Competition” (Human Biology 81:181–210 [2009]) by Anne Kandler as the best contribution to volume 81 (2009) of the journal. This review paper appeared in the special double issue “Demography and Cultural Macroevolution,” edited by guest editors James Steele (United Kingdom) and Stephen Shennan (United Kingdom). Anne Kandler is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career postdoctoral researcher based at the Centre for the Evolution of Cultural Diversity (University College, London). She received her Ph.D. in mathematics (stochastics) in 2006 from the University of Chemnitz (Germany) and currently works on models to explain cultural change. Kandler’s research interests are processes of cultural competition and selection of cultural traits, and the influences of demographic factors (such as population growth and dispersal) and social transmission biases on the outcomes of such processes. In particular, she studies models of language shift (Kandler 2009; Kandler and Steele 2008; Kandler et al. 2010); models of diffusion of innovations, such as the adoption of hybrid corn in the United States in the 20th century (Kandler and Steele 2009); and the relationship between cultural diversity, innovation rate, and transmission biases (Kandler and Laland 2009)
