In North America in the parts north of the present day Mexico, the First Nations had climatically a more hostile environment to deal with than their counterparts in the now Mexico and Mesoamerica and South America. The winters on the Great Plains and in the now Canadian north were harsh and did not favor large populations to develop (with some exceptions like in British Columbia, Canada which had a mild climate and in which 100's of 1000's of First Nations lived). So the mainly plains Indians had a nomadic existence following the game and fish and so had a more egalitarian less centralized leadership than their counterparts to the south. In Mexico, Mesoamerica and South America, the climate was generally less harsh, and fairly large scale agriculture was practiced and the people were more sedentary and political power was held in the hands of rulers who though they had henchmen, tended to be all-powerful, though the Incas for example had a quite equitable system of compulsory labour for public works and mines, allowing time for the participants to work their own fields to sustain their families.

Answer:
It is likely that Elijah's servant was feeling cheated at first and was annoyed by Elias' insistence, but after the rain came down, his feelings changed and he began to see Elias as a great leader and a man of God.
Explanation:
This question refers to the biblical reading present in 1 Kings 18: 42-45, where Elijah had prophesied that it would rain in the region that had not rained for a long time. However, Elijah had spoken to God and had faith that the rain would come.
For this reason, he caused his servant to go up a hill, look towards the sea and see if there were any clouds as a sign of Rain. In doing so the servant reports that the sky is clear and that there is no sign that it will rain.
Then Elijah orders him to go up seven more times, which may have upset the servant and may have stimulated thoughts that he was being deceived by Elijah. However, after climbing seven times, the servant claims that the sky has a small cloud, the size of a man's hand. So Elijah says that this is the sign that it is going to rain.
The servant must have thought that Elijah was crazy, but after a few minutes it started raining with vigorous worms, which must have changed the servant's feelings towards Elijah, who was now seen as a man of God, prophet and leader.

Answer: Ability to roll the tongue IS NOT heritable.
Explanation:
This particular point is addressed in Adam Rutherford's book "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived". (I'm going from memory here so someone can correct me if I've got some details wrong): It was thought for a long time that tongue rolling WAS a heritable trait, but studies of identical twins showed that sometimes one twin can do it, while the other can't, which pretty much puts paid to that hypothesis. Apparently even the guy who first posited (or popularised?) the idea that it was heritable, is now embarrassed when he is told that some science classes still teach that it IS heritable.
As for the other 3 - no idea.
