Final answer:

The middle Palaeolithic stone-tool tradition associated with Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question is a middle Palaeolithic stone-tool tradition associated with Neanderthals in Europe and southwestern Asia with anatomically modern humans in Africa.

The tool industry associated with Neanderthals is called the Mousterian tool industry or the Middle Paleolithic tool industry. Neanderthals created more technologically advanced tools than those produced by H. erectus and seen in the Acheulian tool industry. They used flake tools, striking flakes from cores and then using the flakes as their tools instead of the core, resulting in smaller and sharper tools with increased utility.
