Well, I posted three "challenges" to Martin in this post that are from my field where evo biology was used to save some 300 million Africans from starvation. That's not a bad accomplishment. Conservation biology and ecology probably couldn't exist without evo bio. A lot of medicine rests on an evo bio foundation, especially studies of immunity, parasite control, epidemiology, etc. Even cancer research. I won't say we'd be still using leeches and discussing humors, but the foundation of evo bio has allowed medicine, agriculture, pest management, etc etc to grow exponentially.
