I just lost a bunch of mail, so I'm sorry about coming to this thread late.
As I receall, and the cite's 20+ years gone, Marx wanted V. I of Das Kapital
to be dedicated to Darwin.  Remembering Darwin's shyness, remembering, Darwin
hardly had nerve to mention "Marx," let along go along with a world-wide
proletarian revolution, considering what he was doing to biology, theology,
cosmology, and the rest.
Just thinking.
