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 var en militant ateist, der ikke kunne overtale Darwin til at acceptere dedikationen af sin bog om ateisme - hvilket i øvrigt gav anledning til en fascinerende myte, om at Karl Marx forsøgte at dedikere "Das Kapital" til Darwin, hvilket han ikke gjorde. Det var faktisk Edward Aveling.
