No. Unless you use a utility like ShadowClipboard.

Instead of copying, you can always drag the highlighted text to your desktop as a clipboard clipping, and drag it into the document you need it pasted to later.

Clippings are very handy.

I don't understand why Apple opts not to implement some type of clipboard history.

That maybe useful in some circumstances, but I find the multiple copy paste feature in windows annoying. Particularly because if you've copied something twice by mistake it will remember it, but then most times the clipboard buffer is lost very frequently. Excel is a good example of this. Of course I'n still using win 2000 at work so that may have something to do with it. Still I don't like the multiple copy / paste since you can tell which one is which (except for the order).
If I had a signature, it would look something like this
