Hi, I looked up a biography of Darwin that I have and found this:-
Other kinds of honour crept in. In 1873, Karl Marx sent him (i.e.Darwin) a copy of Das Kapital, inscribing it “Mr. Charles Darwin on the part of his sincere admirer Karl Marx.” Darwin was conscious of the compliment being paid him. "I heartily wish I was more worthy to receive it, by understanding more of the deep & important subject of political economy. Though our studies have been so different, I believe that we both earnestly desire the extension of knowledge & that this in the long run is sure to add to the happiness of mankind." The book remained in Darwin’s library uncut and unopened, and almost certainly unread.
This was virtually the only reference to Marx.
