Darwin's Dangerous Idea is a book by
Daniel Dennett that puts forward the principle that

biology, but also in most other aspects of the
Universe, including the human mind (see
Neural Darwinism).
Dennett coins a number of informal terms in this book, several of which have been used by later authors:
