Large incisors are an archaic character, which seem to have been inherited from the ancestors of moderns and neanderthals. I don't think this feature, is particularly useful here.
Carabelli's cusp is preent in both Caucasians and in neanderthals, and it is most often found among western Europeans, but it isn't restricted to them among Caucasoids, or moderns in general. Im unsure what this means. Is it primitive or does it show migrations?
