A theory postulated without evidence: Considering throughout history power and wealth inequality was in many ways much worse (monarchies, despotism, no voting rights without land etc) I wonder if the current distribution is simply an artifact of genetic changes that have already occurred.

Indeed, individuals in this group were more than twice as likely to report being in very good or excellent health than individuals in the bottom group. If that isn't leading to the scenario described I don't know what you think it's leading to, but it can't be good.
