Just slightly. Punctuated Equilibrium is an theory within the theory of evolution. It is also a theory that can't be tested, which means it's no more than a worthless story, and probably doesn't even qualify as science. Needless to say, PE is completely useless in any practical sense. Gould was a talker, not a doer; he contributed nothing at all to the advancement of applied science.

Re: Any practical use for Darwin's tree of life?
Well the usage is in the identification with normal life . If there is a strange colleague for example, one could somehow use one of the allegories of darwin how certain doves did evolve after his theory. The perhaps future benefit of this theory could come into play if mophologic similarity is used to identify certain genomes in the dna.
