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.
Avelieng 是一个无神论斗士 他并没有成功地说服达尔文 去接受他的关于无神论的书的献辞 -- 顺带提一句，这带来一个有趣的传说 就是卡尔马克思想把资本论的献辞写给达尔文， 马克思并没有这么做，其实想这么做的人是Edward Aveling
