Why is there such a big wealth disparity between northern and southern regions?
1. North America Rich, South America poor
2. Northern Europe rich, southern European countries like Greece, Italy and Spain poor
3. Northern US states rich, southern states poor
4. Northern Hemisphere rich, Southern hemisphere poor
I know it's not a hard rule but it's generally true over larger areas.

There is a caveat to that. Northern plains tribes were still migratory.
You gotta be smart to make the land work for you, in an area that has differing weather patterns.

In general the global north has a historical advantage regarding military power, economic power and intellectualism, in order to preserve and consolidate that power they have made sure North-South relations remain in an asymmetric symbiotic relationship. Or maybe a simpler explanation could be that the weather sucks in the north compared to the South, so people in the north cope by actually contributing to society by employing their intellectual talents whereas people int he South just enjoy the nice weather and don't do shit.

Living in harsh conditions forces a set of people to become future-focused while living in an area of pleasant conditions allows people to be present-focused. Being future focused is a strong component to success. This is pretty universally true. Moscow was at one time the largest/wealthiest city in Europe before politics set in. Most Russians I know are very intelligent though.
To put it more simply: the cold makes you logical; the warmth makes you feel. To further this, the heat makes you sort of histrionic.

Something about 13% and 50%. Institutional racism is a meme go back to plebbit and get ur up votes.

Humans that moved to colder climates had a higher selection for intelligence due to it being toucher to survive, requiring forward planning etc.

As a result large, genetically explained IQ gaps formed between different populations, with whites having an average IQ of 100 (and nordic/germanic whites a little higher), blacks an average IQ of about 70-85, middle eastern/arabs somewhere in between, and east asians around 105.

This is by far the most scientifically supported position for your question OP.

Some places are rich, some places are poor.
Sometimes the richer places are North, like in Italy, sometimes the richer places are South, like in the UK.

This. You can’t be a dipshit and survive winter. You need to plan, store, work during the good months to survive the shitty ones. Any idiot can live when temps allow year round planting/harvesting and you can sleep with minimal protection from the elements.
