I'm sure you have informed yourself about this surgical operation. You pathetic soul.
Antes de subir al cadalso, Juan de Padilla se dirigió a su camarada Juan Bravo con unas célebres palabras: "Señor Bravo: ayer era día de pelear como caballero...hoy es día de morir como cristiano". Ante esto, Juan Bravo pidió ser ejecutado antes que Padilla, "…para no ver la muerte de tan buen caballero". Horas más tarde, también fue ejecutado y decapitado el salmantino Francisco Maldonado.

Frederik Kortlandt published his study "Indo-Uralic and Altaic revisited" as chapter 9 in "Transeurasian verbal morphology in a comparative perspective: genealogy, contact, chance. Edited by Lars Johanson and Martine Robbeets. 2009." So even though I went through a doubt stage, I guess there are other people who are starting to notice more and more similarities.

Altaic classification is not valid. There has never been a language family called Altaic. Because it doesn't fit the definition of language family. A definition as Indo-Uralic is also not valid. None of them fit the definition of a true language family. The origins of these people are different. But the fact that their origins are different does not mean that borrowing cannot be done. It is likely that these people once lived together and greatly influenced each other. It is also possible to find very old words between Indo-European languages, Turkic and Semitic. It shows ancient interaction ties and relationships between these languages, not their ancestry.
Therefore, Nostratic is a dense web of interaction rather than a language family. And yes, they really interacted. Much more than we thought.
