Speaking _linguistically_ I feel that the ancestor of
Nostratic
is Dene-Caucasian. Dene-Caucasian should be comprised
of
NigerKordofanian, BuruYen, Nostratic, SinoDene and
VascoCaucasic
(NEC, HurroU & Basque). Dene-Caucasian is *still* not the
ancestor
of all existing human languages. This goes back some 30,000
years
of
so.
