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.
Eivelings bija karojošs ateists, kam neizdevās piespiest Darvinu pieņemt savu grāmatu kā veltījumu ateismam -- nejauši dodot iemeslu fascinējošam mītam, ka Karls Markss centās veltīt "Das Kapital" Darvinam, kas nav taisnība. Patiesībā tas bija Edvards Eivelings.
