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 je bio ratoborni ateist koji nije uspio uvjeriti Darwina da prihvati posvetu svoje knjige o ateizmu -- slučajno započevši fascinantan mit kako je Karl Marx želio posvetiti "Kapital" Darwinu. No to nije istina. Zapravo je to bio Edward Aveling.
