The implication is that, inherently, higher caste individuals were more gifted than lower castes, and that breeding over the years selected for those traits.

You're confusing inherent trait with sociologically applied traits. In other words, there is no reason to assume there would be selective reproduction for ANY single trait in any of the castes, because your birth into those castes is random and meaningless.

Unless the first two people to make new babies in the highest castes were inherently better than everyone else. Which I firmly believe is false.
