The article discussed this but said that even within family's IQ is going down by generation so it cannot be entirely the effect you described.

Maybe, even within families, it's higher-IQ siblings who'd rather do non-reproductive stuff.

Edit: Upon reflection, that's rather an ugly way to say it. And in saying that, I was thinking of the well-established fact that reproduction rate is inversely related to educational level and so on.
