OK Richard.  I read Jens' posts and I still can't figure out what is being said.  Is there more than one Nostratic Language?  The reason for my inquiry is because I need to explore the language(s) spoken by Homo erectus.

'Nostratic', not Proto-Nostratic!
So at the very least we have the IE
languages, the Uralic languages,
Turkic languages, and that's just
in Europe.  You can name one native
to the USA.  (Hint: Read Jens
Rasmussen's recent postings on
Cybalist.)
