Could ancestry in some ways control the shape of the palate?

Negroid and Mongoloid people have larger teeth than Caucasoids, so yes. Also, Asians have uniquely shaped incisors. Ancestry determines everything, evolution occurs much more quickly than we tend to believe.

It's a pretty odd coincidence that humans all developed agriculture within ten thousand years of each other, then. I guess all populations select equally for intelligence. Maybe not civilizations, you can be stupid and survive in a civilization.

But could that be because WHG had a comparatively more meat based diet? Hence leading to the palate to develop similarly to that of a wolf or bear (i.e. triangular, for tearing)

I wouldn't say genius was needed to figure out agriculture. After all, people had been practicing some low-level planting and harvesting for quite some time before becoming sedentary. The guy who created the first bow was probably smarter than the guy who plowed the first field.

Some would argue agriculture is downright dysgenic...

It's an accomplishment of some sort.

People have probably been gardening since fire, and as an invention it's at least a quarter million years old, and as a tool it's probably closer to two million.

Then after about a quarter million years of that almost everywhere, people all over the world started farming.

Not so sure about that. Low level changes might be made in that regard, but hunter-gatherers in Europe could hardly be called carnivorous.

I'm just going off shape here, that is the fact that it is comparatively more similar to that of a carnivore than that of other humans, example, wolf skull.

And certainly those belonging to more northern regions must have relied to a greater extent of meats compared to those of the tropics?

Hunter-gardeners tend to retain dark skin because they acquire enough vitamin D in their diet. Farmers need the extra vitamin D from the sun to stay healthy. So Inuit and Tasmanians, living at Scandinavian and British latitudes, are (were) dark skinned.
