I don't think this is true. At least in parts of the world. Intelligent people with good jobs tend to get fewer children.
We have a society that takes cares of the handicapped and lesser fortunate. We are not evolving so much anymore physically and intellectually.
In parts of the world (mostly the richer parts) you don't have to be inventive and on your toes all the time to find food and to reproduce. Turn of the electricity for a month and 50 % of the population is dead..... (well that is a bit over the top).
