I am not following how killing people who do poorly on a test does not evoke the evolution demon, eventually.
The average increased, that's your evolution. If you let many generations pass, for the mutations to happen and genetic diversity to restore, you will get the variance back as well.
Assuming random mating, you'll already get higher IQ kids in the next generation since people with exceptionally high IQ are more likely to mate.
