I do wonder if the reduced killing/lynching etc. (more peace) will also reduce the evolutionary pressue on us humans to improve. If only the smart and strong survive the species gets smarter and stronger...since more folks are survivng does this (species wide) make us less smart and less strong?

Actually it is not necessarily the smart and the strong that survive. It is the most adaptive to the situation that are most likely to survive. And it is best to remember that evolution is blind and can lead a species (for lack of a better term) up a dead end as well as up the evolutionary path.
