Aveling was a militant atheist who failed to persuade Darwin to accept the dedication of his book on atheism -- incidentally, giving rise to a fascinating myth that Karl Marx tried to dedicate "Das Kapital" to Darwin, which he didn't, it was actually Edward Aveling.
Aveling era un ateu militant que va fracasar en intentar persuadir a Darwin d'acceptar la dedicatoria del seu llibre sobre l'ateisme, incidentalment, originant el mite fascinant de que Karl Marx volia dedicar «El capital» a Darwin, cosa que no va fer. Realment va ser Edward Aveling.
