Are you sure you're not thinking of "The Darwin Awards" series by Wendy Northcutt?

I am very sure this book was not about evolution.
It was a just many incidents of unusual deaths.
Like there was a musical conductor who hit his foot with his baton(I think) and died.
Another was snorkeling and a bee went down the snorkel tube and died.

That's what these books are about. It's a running gag, that these people die doing stupid things, and take themselves out of the gene pool. These books are exactly about what you are describing.
