Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Oldowan tradition: associated with Homo habilis; found Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania; characterized by flake tools and core tools.
2. Acheulian tradition: associated with Homo erectus; named for St. Acheul, France, but earliest examples were found in West Africa; characterized by handaxes.
3. Mousterian tradition: associated with Neanderthals; named for Le Moustier, France, but found at most Neanderthal sites; characterized by specialized flake tools and items that suggest expressive culture.
