Well an answer could be "yes."
To do so one would need to have a community of scholars where what Gould holds out as the internally directed directionality of 19th century ideas of evolution were NOT be argued against simply to establish "constraint" and in example 'developmental constraint' as a new notion able to "channel" (evoltutionary) changes but that artifical rather than natural selection be developed as the cause of any directionality (thus to the niche or B as a species(sic!))where the directionality is an external purposiveness of the artifically selected bike manifold in the internal dependence of man on the tissue of other life.
What would happen to evolutionary theory in case of this, is that where discontinuity is presently being written, continuity would arise (where "emergent" characters were asserted), and the discontinuity would be returned socially and then culturally to the unconditioned approach to supernaturalism rather than having personal identity of religious experiences as in current writings.
Directionaltiy IN NATURE is due to natural selection not variation (as is standard)but in the bike factory or the creationist striving for an independent view than the secular hereditary king evolutionary change is sustainable within anthropological changes from A to B.
