Evolutionary Suicide In Can adaptation lead to extinction?, Daniel J. Rankin and Andres Lopez-Sepulcre, Laboratory of Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics, Dept of Biological and Environmental Science, Univ. of Helsinki discuss the hypothesis that individual adaptation can lead to group extinction due to unrestrained defection at the group level. In a sense it is clear that if one’s own lineage goes extinct via individual behavior that it is, by definition, maladaptive to engage in antecedent adaptations, however individually advantageous in the short term. However, their theoretic framework of adaptive dynamics does provide fertile new territory for the exploration of group selection and is probably the best formal foundation for my genetic omni-dominance (GOD) hypothesis within which subspecies of recessive character are prone to go extinct under mixing of ecologies. Extended phenotypes of invasive subspecies are likely to play a significant role in triggering evolutionary suicide among competing subspecies. Wikipedia’s introduction to adaptive dynamics describes it thus:
From the article by Rankin and Lopez-Sepulcre:
Moreover, it is likely that the best counter-strategy—genuinely adaptive behavior for human races which are vulnerable to evolutionary suicide triggered by extended phenotypes of invasive subspecies—is the engineering of countervailing symbionts: both organic and memetic. Comments:2

These forms of “riding” are profoundly destructive of the pursuit of group interests. They are, by the way, found within racial activism as well. 3

Like having only one son or daughter?
Adaptive for an individual -they invest a lot into the single kid - if that son/daughter has many kids by getting ahead in life because of that individual attention and resources - ends up having many kids, aka many grandkids.
But cant have everyone do that. Big No-no.
As what was once considered luxury has become commonplace, maybe people are using some sort of in-built evolutionary clock that tells them one is enough when they are resource laden.
