Dennett, do ponto de vista da evolução é visto como sendo fortemente adaptacionista, em consonância com a sua teoria da atitude intencional, e os pontos de vista do biólogo evolucionista Richard Dawkins. Em Darwin's Dangerous Idea, Dennett mostrou-se ainda mais disposto a defender o adaptacionismo de Dawkins, dedicando um capítulo inteiro a uma crítica das ideias de Gould.
As teorias de Dennet tiveram uma influência significativa sobre o trabalho do psicólogo evolucionista Geoffrey Miller. Ele também escreveu sobre e defendeu a noção de memética como uma ferramenta útil filosoficamente, mais recentemente, em seu Cérebros, computadores e Mentes.
