Population genetics is based entirely upon Evolutionary concepts and is used extensively in plant and animal breeding. Genetic engineering would not be possible without knowledge of the ToE.

The Evolutionary concept of common decent allows us to make paternity and relatedness determinations using DNA testing, and this is used in medicine for genetic counselling, in law enforcement in detective work, and in civil legal court to determine paternity of children. The actual testing techniques used, incidentally, are the same ones research scientists use in their Evolutionary Biology work.

Of course, machines, floor plans, and computer programs are being designed using genetic algorithms these days. This, literally, uses evolution to make stuff better than we can design it.
