Description
This volume of essays examines the claim that a linguistic macrofamily can be identified which includes not only the Indo-European and Afroasiatic language families but also the Kartvelian, Uralic,Altaic and Dravidian families.
The Nostratic case was put by Aharon Dolgopolsky in his The Nostratic Macrofamily and Linguitic Palaeontology , and it is here evaluated critically by linguists specialising in the language families concerned.

Decsy); Nostratic and Linguistic Palaeontology in Methodological Perspective (L.
Campbell); Family Trees and Favourite Daughters (A.
McMahon, M. Lohr & R. McMahon); Linguistis Palaeontology: For and Against (I.
Hegedus); Afroasiatic and the Nostratic Hypothesis (D.
Appleyard); The Dravidian Perspective (K. Zvelebil); Altaic Evidence for Nostratic (A. Vovin); On Semitohamitic Comparison (R. Voight); Toward a Future History of Macrofamily Research (D.
