Start with Darwin's Origin. It's a good book, readable, understandable, and also happens to be the origin of the theory. Best start one can imagine.

Thus evolution brings about 'better' things. But the idea of procreation is one which I should address further as well.
Also important that there be sufficient variation in the population. Evolution works better in larger numbers, because there is more chance someone hits the jackpot if there are more people playing.

Yeah. Try drawing a graph that plots "level of edumacation" against "number of children" for the entire human race and I think you'll need to reconsider your original thought.
