Sounds intriguing. I am not familiar with it. Some hints?

I think classical Darwinism stands (or falls) as one of the
pillars of modern Western Epistemology, and forms the
basis for much fundamentalist christian ranting, whether
they are aware of it or not.

I think, as well, that in order to understand the "Crutchfield"
portion of Slothrop's toilet journey a recognition of Pynchon's
critique of some of Darwinism's basic tenet's is helpful.
