Here's the remainder of your tree about which I have a few questions:
why are Sumerian, Elamite, and Dravidian independent branches? Are they
Eurasiatic or are they derived from Eurasiatic? Or doesn't this point
matter?
And about Uralic-Yukaghir, Eskimo-Aleut, and Chukchi-Kamchatkan: are
they independent families or are they twice removed from Steppe? Do
they relate to each other or do they have NO words in common? IOW, why
did you place them where you did?
Thanks,
Gerry
