Hello, all:
Also, in 15,000 BC, wasn't at least the Northern Hemisphere experiencing a major glaciation? Wouldn't the sea levels have been much lower and the shorelines have been drastically different than they are now? The Black Sea would probably have been land-locked, and, quite possibly, the Mediterranean Sea, as well. If that was, indeed, the case, that would have allowed emigration from the African continent into Europe on the western front and into Eurasia on the eastern front. This would allow for (near-)simultaneous dispersion of different (proto-)language families into western Europe and eastern Europe/Eurasia. Any thoughts?

Bomhard meant to show the location of Nostratic with this map. However,
the map doesn't show the trajectory of IE from this location, which would
be an arrow from Syria through the Zagros, up into Central Asian
steppeland, and then westward to Eastern Europe. In fact, it would be
on the path from the Zagros to the steppes that ElamoDravidian would
branch away from the other languages that also followed this trajectory
(Altaic, Uralic, IE, etc).
