This is all really a red herring. Read Steve Pinker or Ray Kurzweil. We're at a point in human evolution where memetic (knowledge) evolution has a much greater meaning to the success of our species than genetic evolution.
Within our lifetimes we're going to see ourselves augmenting our intelligence at a much faster clip than was ever possible through genetic selection. Think about it. Even today it's the people who are knowledgeable about how to use modern tools (calculators, Google, blogs) that are truly able to grow their knowledge of the world.
