[OPE] Marx and Darwin: A Myth Exposed

You may cite this message only if you do not disclose who wrote it.

The following page - written by the "Friends of Charles Darwin" -
exposes as myth the belief  that Marx asked Darwin if he could
dedicate  _Capital_ to him.  Edward Aveling, it seems, asked
Darwin (who declined the offer) if he could dedicate
_The Student's Darwin_ to him.  Somehow that got twisted into the
myth about Marx.

Perhaps there should be a link to this at the "Marx Myth and Legends"
<http://marxmyths.org/index.php>  site?
 
btw, are any Marxians planning events to commemorate the
200th birthday of Darwin on February 12, 2009?
 
In solidarity, Jerry
