Thanks! In fact I've posted that same link here a few times, although I only recently discovered this. For lurkers: The link demonstrates that the oft repeated claim that Marx wrote to Darwin asking if he (Marx) could dedicate Das Kapital to him (Darwin) is false, based on misfiled correspondence.

Worse. Your own link shoots you down with this:
"Marx genuinely admired Darwin's Origin, despite its crude English style. He even sent Darwin a personally inscribed copy of the recently published second edition of Das Kapital in 1873."
No proof that Marx embraces evolution there!
