"But why would Marx want to dedicate a book, or volume, to Darwin? "

He didn't. The story is bogus. It was a different book, by Marx's son-in-law, that Darwin was asked permission to have dedicated to him. The name of the book was *The Student Darwin*. Marx NEVER asked Darwin for permission to dedicated anything to him. Darwin refused to be associated with *The Student Darwin* because it advocated atheism, and he wasn't an atheist.
