Apparently your understanding was commong among
biologists, but recent genetic analysis showed it's
not true.
Reference:
I'm using chimpanzees as a proxy for early humans,
since the time early humans lived in a similar
environment as chimpanzees, a couple of million
years, is much longer than the time since we have
used agriculture and lived in cities (<10Kyr).
Therefore whatever selection pressures have operated
have had much more time to do so in the earlier
environment.
