Darwin's Dangerous Idea (1995) especially delved deep into the evolutionary process by darwin and how it led to human cognitive thinking and consciousness. Dennett believes that Darwin's idea of evolution is one of the best scientific theories out there, even against many who think it's dangerously mindless and simple against that of the divine design of human minds and bodies. -

Dennett credits natural selection and its three fundamental building blocks to human life itself. Algorithms, evolutionary design space, and memes. Algorithmically natural selection has easy steps to follow on creating any form of life, the primary example being reproduction. This algorithmic step allows there to be diverse species. Through evolutionary design space, every species is in its place to evolutionize and is waiting for its natural selection algorithm. -

Memes take place as a metaphorical example of a design space. Because these design spaces can be followed to each and every species past and present evolutionary process, memes have also done this by gradually changing alongside culture and technology. They thus fundamentally can be traceable by studying its patterns like how you would look at a species biological makeup and be able to trace its ancestral background. -

Dennett's contribution to philosophical thought on how the human mind developed was a bit unorthodox to his peers. But had other scientists thinking and openly question the idea of human evolution. Dennett also published philosophical works on religious thought and how it evolutionized within human society.
