basically the system was known as "varna system" and people were divided according to their occupations in early times(ref.rigveda) but soon it developed as permanent system based on both occupational limits and birth.
according to manusmriti , the 4 varnas originated from lord bhrama body.
bhramana- head
kshatriya-arms
vaishya-legs
shudra-feet
