It's not really about killing maladapted. In each generation of humans more than 10% of them don't pass their genes to next generation. From the point of view of evolution it is as if they got killed young. Mate selection is way stronger mechanism of evolution then plain survival.

If a bunch of people hated someone they ganged up and killed him/her, leading to humans being relatively more neotenistic than other primates. (I used maladapted in a very loose way: especially being maladapted socially, we are not talking about being maladapted phicially and other ways)
