Interesting. Why are you excluding Semitic
and Dravidian? Agree that Yukaghirian is connected to Uralic, thus
Yukaghirian is dinged. Please explain why Euro-Asiatic is excluded,
why can't Korean-Ainu-Japanese be labeled Austronesian, why is Ainu excluded
.....has it been successfully connected to Altaic, you haven't explained what
you've done with the Kets, and agree that Nivkhs is another term for Gilyak but
to which mega family does it connect?

Excluded, excluded, included (in Uralic), can't be included in
itself,
excluded, mentioned already (Korean-Ainu-Japanese), excluded,
is
another name for Gilyak.
Respectively.
