The provided passages do not explicitly detail the practical implications of the information presented in "The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change."
However, the book does discuss the "enormous wealth of hereditary variation among individuals" and the "genetic changes that take place in the origin of new species" [1]. It also points out "new directions for its future" in the rapidly growing science of molecular evolution [2]. While the findings and future directions are mentioned, their practical applications are not elaborated upon.

Title: The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change by Richard C. Lewontin Description: In this volume the author surveys the many experiments using new molecular techniques that have revealed the enormous wealth of hereditary variation among individuals and have quantified the genetic changes that take place in the origin of new species. Dr. Lewontin proposes new theories to attack the problems which still confront the scientist. While a tremendous amount of variation has been revealed, a satisfactory explanation of the origin and maintenance of such variation is still lacking. It is not at all…
