= Darwin's Dangerous Idea
{wiki=Darwin's_Dangerous_Idea}
"Darwin's Dangerous Idea" is a concept introduced by philosopher Daniel C. Dennett in his 1995 book of the same name. The central idea is that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has profound implications not only for biology but also for philosophy, ethics, and our understanding of human nature. The "dangerous" aspect refers to how Darwin's idea challenges traditional views about the origins of life, the complexity of organisms, and the role of purpose and design in nature.
