We do now. By selective breeding we are creating new strains of animals and crops.
We also do that in our conservation efforts. We actively try and stop the extinction of certain species. The fact that we probably caused it to be nearly extinct, doesn't change the fact that in trying to conserve it we are attempting to somewhat direct it's evolution (in the sense that we are trying to keep evolution going for that species).
